I do not know how to add these. 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. >Also because this particular list has over 14000 subscribers I would assume >many were bulked into the list. 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. >I wonder if these "groups" get a notification and link or instructions >to unsubscribe. Bulk adds do not get the standard notification, but single add/subscribe usually do. >Otherwise that is why I told the owner that the responsibility should be on >the members to unsubscribe. 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. --- cut here --- .CS UTF-8 ############################ To unsubscribe from the &LISTNAME list: write to: mailto:&LISTNAME-SIGNOFF-REQUEST@&MYHOST or click the following link: &WA_URL;?SUBED1=&LISTNAME_ENCODED&A=1 --- cut here --- ############################ To unsubscribe from the LSTSRV-L list: write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the following link: http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=LSTSRV-L&A=1 ############################ To unsubscribe from the LSTSRV-L list: write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the following link: http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=LSTSRV-L&A=1
