How do I subscribe to a list via email, and not via the Web Interface?
Environment
- Email Client
- Outlook, Thunderbird, Mac Mail, iOS Mail, Android Mail, etc.
Resolution
NOTE: The resolution will contain variables - please be aware of this when composing your message, as your To: field will contain something different than what is displayed below.
- Start with a new message on your desired Email Client.
- The To: Field must contain: LISTNAME-subscribe-request@lists.psu.edu
- A subject is not required - however, if you still wish to enter one, you may use "Subscribe Request"
- The body of the email may be blank as well. If you want to put something there, repeat "Subscribe Request"
- Send the message. You should receive a confirmation email back from the server.
NOTE: LISTNAME variable MUST be the full list name of the list you wish to subscribe to. (Example: L-ExampleList-subscribe-request@lists.psu.edu)
NOTE: The server will collect your email address from the From: field when you send.
