It's also mentioned in the welcome message that you get when you first subscribe, including an explicit request to NOT DELETE the information. However, instead of being smart, why not just post the information? :- Welcome to the linux-users mailing list PLEASE KEEP THIS MESSAGE - IT CONTAINS INFORMATION ON HOW TO STOP MAIL FROM THIS LIST BEING SENT TO YOU. linux-users is the mailing list for information concerning the linux operating system. There are three email addresses associated with this list: [email protected] will send mail to all the people on the linux-users list [EMAIL PROTECTED] will send mail to a real person who maintains the list. [EMAIL PROTECTED] will send mail to the automatic Mailserv processor. The possible instructions are listed below. HELP - Sends a help file. This command takes no parameters. SUBSCRIBE LINUX-USERS UNSUBSCRIBE LINUX-USERS This is the command you should use if you want to stop receiving mail from this list. END - Terminates MAILSERV processing; subsequent message contents are ignored. This command is useful when signatures are automatically appended to messages. Such signatures are likely to cause errors if MAILSERV sees them. PLEASE AVOID SENDING MAIL TO THESE LISTS WITH CONFIRM READING OR CONFIRM RECEIPT OPTIONS ENABLED The section below supplies some broad guidelines on how to use mailing lists. Hints for Using Mail Lists --------------------------- Do not send any administrative mail (especially subscribe or unsubscribe messages) to the actual mailing list. Use listname-request or listname-owner. When replying to a message, decide whether you want to reply to the whole list, or just the original sender. Usually the whole list is the default. Check the TO: line of your reply, and edit it manually if required. When you reply to a message, and include the previous message in your reply, edit the message so that only the relevant parts of the previous message are included. Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] with any problems associated with this system.
