How to Subscribe and Unsubscribe

Many LISTSERV operations are easily performed through email. We'll use the fictional list FICTIONAL-L in our examples below. You should replace all occurrances of the string "FICTIONAL-L" with the list you are interested in.

To add yourself to a list, send a piece of email to listserv@lists.ufl.edu with the line:

subscribe (listname) (your first name) (your last name)

e.g.:
subscribe FICTIONAL-L Jane Doe

To remove yourself from a list, send a piece of email to listserv@lists.ufl.edu with the line:

unsubscribe (listname)

e.g.:
unsubscribe FICTIONAL-L
