Directions for the ListServ

If you want to subscribe to the Theatre Dept. list, send a command to Majordomo to have it add you to the list, so you can begin receiving mailings.


Open your email and create a new message.

To: majordomo@oswego.edu
Subject: [ no subject ]

In the body of the message, type the following:

subscribe THEATRE-DEPART-L

Your message will look like this:

To : majordomo@oswego.edu
Cc :
Attchmnt:
Subject :
----- Message Text -----
subscribe THEATRE-DEPART-L



Now hit the SEND button.

Once you do this, you will get a response back from majordomo. Depending on the type of list you are trying to subscribe to, you may need to reply to a confirmation sent to you by majordomo. You will not actually be subscribed to the list until you reply to the confirmation. The confirmation is to make sure that you are the one subscribing you to the list . There have been security problems with people trying to subscribe someone other than themselves to majordomo lists. Having the confirmation ensures that this will not happen.

If you need to reply to a confirmation, you will receive a message from majordomo that will look similar to the following:
NOTE: The KEY that you will receive will look different than the one displayed below. Use the KEY that is emailed to you.
