HelpSubscribe to Listserv
To subscribe to a Listserv, send a one line email message from the address that you want added to the subscription list.
Send an email with no subject to:
listserv@listsrv.ucsf.edu
The one line of the message is:
subscribe listname firstname
lastname
where listname is the name of the Listserv you want to
subscribe to and firstname lastname are your first and last name
The server will pull your email address from the FROM field of your email
Once you have sent your subscription request to the Listserv server, you will get one of three types of responses.
- If you have subscribed to an 'Open,Confirm' Listserv, which allows subscribers to join the Listserv at their own discretion, then you will receive a confirmation request email to confirm your intention to subscribe to the listserv. Upon confirming your subscription, you will receive some kind of 'welcome' or 'acceptance' message stating that your subscription request has been accepted.
- If you have subscribed to a 'By_Owner' Listserv, which allows only the Listserv's owner to review and process subscription requests, then you will receive a notice that your subscription request has been forwarded to the list owner.
- If you have subscribed to a 'Closed' Listerv, which does not allow subscribers to self-subscribe, then you will receive a notice that the Listserv is closed. If you wish to pursue subscribing to a 'Closed' Listserv, then you may attempt to contact the Listserv owner by sending an email to:
listname-request@LISTSRV.UCSF.EDU
