Managing Your Subscription to the OAUG Listservers

The OAUG Listserver Subscription Manager is currently unavailable. The OAUG is working on a Web-based listserver subscription process.

In the interim, you can manage your subscription(s) to OAUG lists by sending e-mail to the server in the format listname-action@oaug.com, where listname is the name of list to which you wish to subscribe or for which you would like to change your subscription, and action is the mode in which you wish to subscribe or another keyword as detailed below. Note that the server ignores any text or other content in the body of messages sent to these special addresses.

In the address format mentioned above, listname must be one of the following:

Likewise, action must be one of the following:

A message sent to listname-on@oaug.com will, upon confirmation, subscribe the address in the “From:” field of the message to the list in the default mode. All OAUG lists default to feed mode.

A message sent to listname-off@oaug.com will, upon confirmation, remove the address in the “From:” field of the message from the list.

A message sent to listname-feed@oaug.com will, upon confirmation, subscribe the address in the “From:” field of the message to the list in feed mode or change an existing subscription to feed mode.

A message sent to listname-digest@oaug.com will, upon confirmation, subscribe the address in the “From:” field of the message to the list in digest mode or change an existing subscription to digest mode. Note that OAUG eNews will only accept subscriptions in feed mode.

A message sent to listname-index@oaug.com will, upon confirmation, subscribe the address in the “From:” field of the message to the list in index mode or change an existing subscription to index mode. Note that OAUG eNews will only accept subscriptions in feed mode.

A message sent to listname-null@oaug.com will, upon confirmation, subscribe the address in the “From:” field of the message to the list in null mode or change an existing subscription to null mode.

For example, to subscribe to OAUG Net in digest mode (or change an existing subscription to digest mode), send an e-mail from the address you wish to subscribe (or change subscription mode) to oaugnet-digest@oaug.com.
