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