Here is a complete description of the set of list management-related
commands recognized by ListProcessor and examples of how to submit commands
to the ListProcessor. List managers should also obtain the User Reference
for a brief description of user commands and the User Manual for more detailed
explanation of user commands.
Everything appearing in [] below is optional; everything appearing in
<> is mandatory; all arguments are case insensitive. The vertical
bar ("|") is used as a logical OR operator between the arguments.
Please note that the brackets or braces or parentheses themselves are NEVER
a part of the command. In the syntax examples below, the word "list"
must be replaced by your list name, the word "password" must
be replaced by your list password, the word "options" must be
replaced by any options for the command, and the word "args",
short for arguments, must be replaced by any additional arguments that
must be added after the options. Commands may be abbreviated, but you must
give at least as many characters as needed to distinguish the command from
other commands or at least enter the first three characters.
All lists have four levels of management commands: (1) the ListProcessor
administrator, (2) list owners, who have ultimate control over the list,(3)
list moderators, who do the day-to-day list management, i.e., receive messages
to REVIEW, APPROVE, DISCARD, or FORWARD reviewed messages, and(4) subscription
managers and error message recipients, both of whom have access only to
commands relating to subscriptions to the list; specifically, they can
ADD, DELETE, SET ...FOR, and REVIEW; however, error message recipients
do not receive commands to subscribe to closed lists which subscription
managers receive.
Any command which spans more than one line must have an ampersand (&) at the end of each line to indicate that the command is continued on the next line.
