4) How to unsubscribe from the list
If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing list, you should send an E-mail message to the mailing list server, with the following command in the message BODY (a Subject line is not required or needed):
UNSUB ORACLE-L Your E-mail message should be addressed to:
ListGuru_at_fatcity.com <-- Note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru'
NOTE: If you only want to *TEMPORARILY* stop receiving postings from this mailing list, you may want to use the SET NOMAIL command as mentioned below.
5) Commonly used mailing list server commands
The mailing list server software in use at fatcity.com is ListGuru. ListGuru accepts most commands from all major mailing list servers, including Listserv, ListProc, Majordomo, MailBase and SmartList (among others). All messages to the mailing list server MUST be addressed to only one address, however:
ListGuru_at_fatcity.com <-- Note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru'
Mailing list commands must be included in the message body, not the Subject line. Commands on the Subject line are ignored. Multiple commands can be included in a single message. You may send as many messages as you wish.
A short description of the most commonly used commands follows. For a complete list of all commands available, use the HELP command to obtain more detailed information. In all commands below, <list> refers to a name of a valid mailing list name (for example, ORACLE-L ).
Command Format What it does -------------- --------------------------------------------------- HELP Sends complete ListGuru command information LISTS Sends a list of all available lists at this site UNSUB <list> Unsubscribes the subscriber from the list SET <list> NOMAIL Temporarily turns off messages to the subscriber SET <list> MAIL Resumes mail flow to the subscriber CONFIRM <list> Confirms a subscription to a particular list WHICH Shows ALL lists that a user is subscribed to SET <list> DIGEST Turns on DIGEST mode for a list (if available) SET <list> NODIGEST Returns to normal (single message) mode for a list INDEX <list> Lists all available archive files for a list END Discontinues further command processing (useful if you have long signature sections).
There are more than 50 commands which can be used with ListGuru. The HELP command details all commands and their function. In addition, it specifies which commands from other mailing list server software may be used.
Note that the two most common mistakes when using mailing list servers are misspellings of addresses or list names, and posting mailing list server commands to the list itself (a major no-no). When in doubt, ask for HELP.
