Mailing lists Everyone on a mailing list receives all messages sent to the address of that list.
Generally, you add your email address to a mailing list by sending a message requesting to subscribe. When your subscription is accepted, the list manager sends you a very important message that contains, among other things, how to unsubscribe and how to find help. Often the amount of mail received is great, and it is a common thing to receive so much mail that your mailbox overflows and you can no longer easily access your account. If this occurs, call the Help Desk for help fixing it, and then immediately unsubsc ribe to the mailing list. A good way of preventing overflow is to check your mail every day or two.
