Class Lists

Adding Subscribers

Class lists are created and initially populated by the Mass Mailing team. Instructors can add students who register after the class list was created by logging in to the Photo Class List, accessing the course section's email list, and clicking the "Add the above students to the list" button.

Even though this feature will re-subscribe everyone registered for the class, ListServ will always weed out duplicates on any list. Therefore, only newly-registered students will be added.

Removing Subscribers

The above subscription method will only add students. It will not delete students who have dropped or withdrawn since the list was created. List owners will need to remove these students manually via email commands or the Web Interface. See below for removal commands.

Departmental/Organizational Lists

Adding Subscribers

To add subscribers one at a time, use the following email command:

quiet add listname address firstname lastname

"Listname" is the name of your list. Replace "address" with the email address of the new subscriber.

"Firstname" indicates the first name, "lastname" indicates the last name. If you don't wish to include the subscriber's full name, replace "firstname" and "lastname" with a "*" (asterisk).

"Quiet" tells ListServ not to notify the user of their subscription. If you wish notification to be sent, simply remove "quiet" and begin the command line with "add."

If ListServ appears to truncate your command line, or if a command line wraps to the next line, use the bulk add command below.

To subscribe users in bulk, use the following command:

quiet add listname dd=ddname import
//ddname dd *
userid1@host1.com
userid2@host2.com
…
useridn@hostn.com
/*

Each email address must occupy its own line as shown. Replace "listname" with the name of your list. Copy and paste subscriber email addresses in place of the dummy addresses. No other parameter needs to be modified.

The bulk command does not request full names for subscribers, but you can provide them if you wish, using "address firstname lastname" on each address line (fill in the proper information for each).

Deleting Subscribers

To delete subscribers one at a time, use the following command: 

quiet delete listname address

"Listname" is the name of your list. Replace "address" with the email address of the subscriber to be removed.

"Quiet" tells ListServ not to notify the user of their removal. If you wish notification to be sent, simply remove "quiet" and begin the command line with "delete."

If ListServ appears to truncate your command line, or if a command line wraps to the next line, use the bulk delete command below.

To delete subscribers in bulk, use the following command: 

quiet delete listname dd=ddname
//ddname dd *
userid1@host1.com
userid2@host2.com
…
useridn@hostn.com
/*

Each email address must occupy its own line as shown. Replace "listname" with the name of your list. Copy and paste subscriber email addresses in place of the dummy addresses. No other parameter needs to be modified.

Note that in this case the "import" keyword (present in the bulk add command) and the full name not included.
