Mail List (Listserv) Processor Commands

The following commands are available in the Murray State University Listserv system. In these examples, the name of the sample listserv is “adjunct”. When you are working with your own listserv replace “adjunct” in the examples below with the name of your listserv.

  2. Leave the subject line blank.
  3. Include the appropriate command below in the body of the message.
