For example, there is a mailing list called <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1.10rem; font-family: \'Courier New\',Courier,monospace; color: #010100;\">MD-Support<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\"> being hosted by<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\"> <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1.10rem; font-family: \'Courier New\',Courier,monospace; color: #010100;\">mdaemon.com.<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\"> You can subscribe to the list by composing a message addressed to &quot;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1.10rem; font-family: \'Courier New\',Courier,monospace; color: #010100;\">mdaemon@mdaemon.com<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\">&quot; and placing the value: <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1.10rem; font-family: \'Courier New\',Courier,monospace; color: #010100;\">SUBSCRIBE MD-Support@mdaemon.com<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\"> as the first line of the message body. The message subject is irrelevant and can be left blank.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_BodyText\"><span class=\"f_BodyText\">For complete details on how to form this and other control messages, see: <a href=\"remote_server_control_via__email.html\" class=\"topiclink\">Remote Server Control Via Email<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<div style=\"text-align: left; text-indent: 0; padding: 0 0 0 0; margin: 0 3.0625rem 0.8750rem 3.0000rem;\"><table style=\"background-color:#ffffe6; border:solid thin #000000; border-spacing:0;\">\n\r<tr>\n\r<td style=\"vertical-align:top; width:3.1250rem; height:3.1250rem; padding:0.3125rem; border:none\"><p class=\"p_NoFormat\"><img style=\"margin:0;width:3.1250rem;height:3.1250rem;border:none\" src=\".\/images\/lightbulb_on_50_yback.gif\"\/><\/p>\n\r<\/td>\n\r<td style=\"vertical-align:top; padding:0.3125rem; border:none\"><p class=\"p_Notes\"><span class=\"f_Notes\">Occasionally, users will attempt to subscribe\/unsubscribe to lists via email by sending the commands to the list itself rather than to the MDaemon system account. This results in the command being posted to the list rather than the user being subscribed or unsubscribed. To help prevent these sorts of messages from being posted to mailing lists, there is an option located at <\/span><span class=\"f_MenuPath\"><a href=\"preferences_system.html\" class=\"topiclink\">Setup » Preferences » System<\/a><\/span><span class=\"f_Notes\">, called &quot;<\/span><span class=\"f_Notes\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Screen incoming mailing list mail for obvious non-list content<\/span><span class=\"f_Notes\">.&quot; This option is enabled by default.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<\/td>\n\r<\/tr>\n\r<\/table>\n\r<\/div>\n\r<h2 class=\"p_Heading2\" style=\"page-break-after: avoid;\"><span class=\"f_Heading2\">Subscribing\/Unsubscribing via Email Addresses<\/span><\/h2>\n\r<p class=\"p_BodyText\"><span class=\"f_BodyText\">The option, &quot;<\/span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Honor \'&lt;List&gt;-subscribe\' and \'&lt;List&gt;-unsubscribe\' addresses<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\">,&quot; located at <\/span><span class=\"f_MenuPath\"><a href=\"ml_manager_settings.html\" class=\"topiclink\">Setup » Mailing List Manager » Mailing List Settings<\/a><\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\">, makes it possible for users to join or quit mailing lists by sending a message to a special email address rather than requiring them to use the email commands described in <\/span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Subscribing\/Unsubscribing via Email Commands<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\"> above. To use this method to join or quit a list, a user would simply send a message to the list\'s address, but with &quot;<\/span><span class=\"f_PlainText\">-subscribe<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\">&quot; or &quot;<\/span><span class=\"f_PlainText\">-unsubscribe<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\">&quot; appended to the mailbox portion of the address. For example, if the list\'s name is, &quot;frank<\/span><span class=\"f_PlainText\">s-list@example.com<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\">,&quot; then a user could subscribe to the list by sending a message to, &quot;<\/span><span class=\"f_PlainText\">franks-list-subscribe@example.com<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\">.&quot; To unsubscribe from the list, the message would be sent to, &quot;<\/span><span class=\"f_PlainText\">franks-list-unsubscribe@example.com<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\">.&quot; In both cases the content of the subject and message body is irrelevant. Also, when this feature is active MDaemon will insert the following header into all list messages:<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_Code2_LastItem\"><span class=\"f_Code2_LastItem\">List-Unsubscribe: &lt;mailto:&lt;List&gt;-Unsubscribe@example.com&gt;<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_BodyText\"><span class=\"f_BodyText\">Some mail clients can pick up on this and make an UNSUBSCRIBE button available to users automatically.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<h2 class=\"p_Heading2\" style=\"page-break-after: avoid;\"><span class=\"f_Heading2\">Subscribing\/Unsubscribing via Autoresponders<\/span><\/h2>\n\r<p class=\"p_BodyText\"><span class=\"f_BodyText\">You can also utilize <a href=\"ae_auto_responder.html\" class=\"topiclink\">Autoresponders<\/a> to automatically add or remove list members. To do this you would create one or more MDaemon accounts whose sole purpose would typically be to automatically add or remove addresses who send messages to those accounts, via the Autoresponders configured for each account. For example, if you had a mailing list called, &quot;<\/span><span class=\"f_PlainText\">franks-list@example.com<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\">,&quot; then you could create an MDaemon account with the address: &quot;<\/span><span class=\"f_PlainText\">join-franks-list@example.com<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\">.&quot; You would then configure an autoresponder for that account to add to &quot;<\/span><span class=\"f_PlainText\">franks-list@example.com<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\">&quot; any addresses sending messages to it. Then, to join that list, all someone would have to do is send an email to &quot;<\/span><span class=\"f_PlainText\">join-franks-list@example.com<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\">&quot;. This is a simple solution for users because it doesn\'t require them to remember any of the special email commands required by the <\/span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Subscribing\/Unsubscribing via Email Commands<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\"> method outlined above.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_SeeAlso\" style=\"page-break-after: avoid; border-right: none; border-bottom: none; border-left: none;\"><span class=\"f_SeeAlso\">See:<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_SeeAlsoLinks\" style=\"page-break-after: avoid;\"><span class=\"f_SeeAlsoLinks\"><a href=\"ml_subscriptions.html\" class=\"topiclink\">Subscription<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_SeeAlsoLinks\" style=\"page-break-after: avoid;\"><span class=\"f_SeeAlsoLinks\"><a href=\"remote_server_control_via__email.html\" class=\"topiclink\">Remote Server Control via Email<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_SeeAlsoLinks\" style=\"page-break-after: avoid;\"><span class=\"f_SeeAlsoLinks\"><a href=\"ae_auto_responder.html\" class=\"topiclink\">Autoresponder<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_SeeAlsoLinks\" style=\"page-break-after: avoid;\"><span class=\"f_SeeAlsoLinks\"><a href=\"preferences_system.html\" class=\"topiclink\">Preferences » System<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_SeeAlsoLinks\" style=\"page-break-after: avoid;\"><span class=\"f_SeeAlsoLinks\"><a href=\"preferences_miscellaneous.html\" class=\"topiclink\">Preferences » Miscellaneous<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_ControlIndent\"><span class=\"f_ControlIndent\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\r"
