Using LISTSERVs
Loyola University now has the ability to setup LISTSERVs. The software is called Majordomo. Any department, college, faculty, staff or student group who would like to set up a LISTSERV must send an E-mail to "infotech@loyno.edu".
You must be subscribed to your mailing list before your messages will be allowed to go out to it. Only list members can send to their list.
All Courses are also setup for each semester. Please note that they will be deleted at the beginning of the next semester unless you notify us that you need them longer.
The name of the Listserv is the same as the course id.
For example. Course, English ENGLT122002 will be Listserv englt122002.
TO SUBSCRIBE TO A LISTSERV
for example, if your Listserv name was englt122002.
IN EMAIL:
send to: majordomo@loyno.edu
in the body of message: subscribe englt122002.
Send the e-mail. You will get two messages back from majordomo.
YOU ARE NOW SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR LISTSERV.
TO SEND MESSAGES TO YOUR LISTSERV
for example, if your Listserv name was englt122002.
send E-mail to: englt122002@loyno.edu
Everyone that is subscribed to that Listserv will get the message.
To Unsubscribe from a LISTSERV
Send an email to majordomo@loyno.edu. The subject can be blank. In the body of the message type the word "unsubscribe" followed by a space, then the listserv name.
Example: unsubscribe listserv name
It is important to note that this email must be sent from your account that is listed on the listserv.
In other words, if the listserv is sending messages to your @loyno.edu account, then you must email from your @loyno.edu account to unsubscribe.
TO GET A LIST OF MAJORDOMO COMMANDS FOR HELP
send to majordomo@loyno.edu
In the body of the message, enter help, and send the e-mail.
