Hi,
Here, we use the "EXIT" keyword, which specifies an external command to run, in lists we don't want users to unsubscribe from. These are all administrative lists and are used only for important messages we want to be sure that faculty, staff, and/or students get all of these messages. In our case, we use a PERL script that we got from a former frequent poster to this list who has since retired.

Hi Steve,
The easiest way I have found to block users from unsubscribing is to issue a "get <listname> (Header" command in the command box. This will lock the list and nobody is able to make changes anymore. So subscribers can't unsubscribe themselves anymore. This also blocks listowners from making changes, so choose the right time to lock the list. When a user sends an unsubscribe mail to the list they will receive this message:
"Sorry, the <listname> list has been locked since 2022-10-10 09:01:45 by <email listowner>. Try again later and contact the list owner if the condition persists."
To unlock the list you have to send "unlock <listname>" in the command box.
Hope this helps,
Kind regards,
Joost de Groot

Greetings All,
I have a question from a list owner, asking about people being able to unsubscribe from a list, where Subscription= Owner, and the bottom (to unsubscribe...) banner.
Does Subscription=Owner prevent people from unsubscribing (by clicking on the link in the bottom banner)? If so (or not), can the banner be eliminated from posts to a specific list?
Thanks,
