issue the command TELL LISTSERV AT UBVM GET UUS-L (HEADER if you're on the
BITNET or send am e-mail to [log in to unmask] with GET UUS-L if you
are not on BITNET.
 
After you receive the header, there should be a line similar to the
following in the header:
 
Renewal= 6-Monthly,Delay(7)
 
the above line will ask subscriber(s) to renew every 6 months, and after 7
days LISTSERV not receiveing the renewal, the subscriber(s) will be deleted
automatically by LISTSERV.
