Subscribe/Unsubscribe to a Mailman Email Distribution List

Procedures

1. Find a list's Information Page
   
   All advertised lists have an information page that is a link on the Mailing List Overview page.
   
   Mailing list pages can be reached directly.  If the list you want to find is unadvertised, it will not be displayed on the Overview pages, but can be reached by replacing [list-name] in the link below with the name of the list whose page you want to find:
   
   https://lists.uwyo.edu/mailman/admin/[list-name]
   
   Note: How do I access the main Mailman Web page from off campus?
    
2. Subscribe to a list
    
   1. Visit the list's information page at https://lists.uwyo.edu/mailman/listinfo/[list-name], replacing [list-name] with the name of the list.

5. Email Commands
   
   While we strongly recommend using the list's information web pages, some users prefer email commands to subscribe and unsubscribe. The exact behavior of these commands will vary depending on the permissions of the list. If the list has a closed subscription these requests will go to the list owner for approval, but otherwise the user will simply be added/removed as a list member.
    
   1. To subscribe to a list by email:
      Please send an email to [list-name]-subscribe@uwyo.edu, replacing [list-name] with the name of the list.
       
   2. To unsubscribe from a list by email:
      Please send an email to [list-name]-unsubscribe@uwyo.edu, replacing [list-name] with the name of the list.
