Subscribe

List owners usually subscribe and manage the membership of their lists directly, but some lists allow individuals to subscribe themselves.   To subscribe to a list:

  1. Open a new email message
  2. In the TO: field, enter      sympa@lists.uakron.edu
  3. In the Subject line enter:         subscribe     NAME-OF-LIST   (Where NAME-OF-LIST is the actual list you to which you want to subscribe.)
  4. Remove any text or email signatures from the body of the message.
  5. Send your email.

(Depending on the list settings you may get an email back with a confirmation link.  Click the link to access the listserv interface, then confirm your subscription. )

If successful, you’ll get a welcome message back from the list and the list owner will be notified as well.  If this fails, contact the list owner for more options.
