MailServ helps you subscribe to or unsubscribe from mailing lists in three easy steps:
1. Enter your e-mail address in the first field:
2. Verify the list name and the list request address, and make sure the
Send commands option is set to immediately (it should be, by default):
3. Click the button next to the Subscribe or Unsubscribe command:
After you click the button, MailServ sends a specially-formatted e-mail message to the mailing list request address, asking to subscribe or unsubscribe your address. After sending the request, MailServ displays a screen that says Your commands have been sent!
If all goes well, you should receive an e-mail message to confirm your request. If you do not, see the section If You Have Problems below.
When Send commands immediately is selected, MailServ sends a
command as soon as you click a command button:
However, if you select Send commands after multiple commands and
click a command button, then MailServ displays the commands you have
already selected, and waits for you to click another command button:
If you decide you do not want to send one of the commands, simply un-select the checkbox to the left of the command. When you are ready to send the selected commands, click Send my commands now!
First, keep in mind that e-mail is not meant to be a form of instant communication. Many factors can contribute to an e-mail delay, so be sure to wait long enough for your commands to get to the mailing list and to travel back to you. You should receive a response within a few minutes, but longer delays are common (sometimes an hour or more).
If you have waited and still have not received a message, go back to the MailServ screen and make sure you entered your e-mail address correctly, and verify that the list request address is correct.
Try submitting the commands again, and select the CC:yourself checkbox, to send a copy of the mailing list commands to your address.
