If you can create lists then you also have the privileges necessary to add
these bottom banners at a site-wide level.  See below for how.  In fact, as a
LISTSERV site-admin (if not a server-admin) I would suggest you have an
obligation to do this as part of managing a well-run LISTSERV instance.

There is no immediately obvious reason to assume that these many subscribers
were added without their permission/agreement.  But you should find out if
that is occurring or has occurred.  The mailing reputation of your whole
LISTSERV site is at stake.

Bulk adds do not get the standard notification, but single add/subscribe
usually do.

Yes, but it is the owner's responsiblity to provide the unsubscribe
information.  And, as I suggest, it is the Site-Admin's responsibility to
either see that Owner's do this or simply do it at the site-wide level for all
lists/all owners.

To add a BOTTOM_BANNER like the one on LSTSRV-L:  (Ver 15.0 and later)

Windows:
http://your.server.name/scripts/wa.exe?TPLED2=SITE&a=BOTTOM_BANNER&p=1

Unix:
http://your.server.name/cgi-bin/wa?TPLED2=SITE&a=BOTTOM_BANNER&p=1

Or adjust the URL to what is correct for your server.


Copy/paste the following.  This works for any LISTSERV site.
