Listserv Moderator Instructions

These are the commands for the listserv. Make a new message and send it to listserv@lists.humec.ksu.edu with something in the subject, usually the first command after the password. Then in the body just put the password command first with the password after it with a space in between, and then the command, one per line. End of message or a blank line will stop the processing of commands. So usually you compose your message like this:

PASSWORD password
add everyone fred@ksu.edu Fred Wills
remove everyone george@ksu.edu

Also be sure to send it without formatting or signatures, so change the message type to plain text and remove your signature from the end of the email.
