A user can subscribe to a list, or ask about his or other users
subscriptions, by sending mail to the majordomo server at majordomo@kattare.com. Put the commands in the body of the mail message
(not on the "Subject:" header component). Other than white space, the
commands must be the first text in the message body; in other words,
don't begin with "Dear Majordomo."
In the sections below, items in brackets (<>) are optional. If you
include the optional item, don't type the brackets.
- help
Sends one-line summaries of majordomo commands. The first line of
output tells you which version of Majordomo the server is running.
- info list
Sends an introduction to the list "list".
- lists
Shows the lists served by this majordomo server.
- subscribe list <address>
This command subscribes a user to the named "list". Unless the user
includes the optional "address", Majordomo will use the e-mail
address in the mail message header ("Reply-to:", if any, otherwise
"From:") to send mail to the user.
- unsubscribe list <address>
This unsubscribes the user (or "address") from "list".
- which <address>
Tells the lists to which the user (or "address") is subscribed.
- who list
Lists the subscribers of "list".
- index list
Gives a listing of files in the "list" archive. If the list is
private, only members can run this command. Only for Majordomo
versions 1.54 and later.
- get list filename
Mails a file named "filename" from the "list" archive. If the list
is private, only members can run this command. Only for Majordomo
versions 1.54 and later.
- end
Stops reading the message. This is useful for users whose mailer
adds text (like a signature) to the end of a message.
A line that starts with a dash (-) is also treated as an "end"
command by newer versions of Majordomo. Because many peoples' mail
message signatures start with some dashes, this avoids error
messages.
