From the LISTSERV 1.8d Release Notes for List Owners: http://demo.lsoft.com/18d-releasenotes.html *********************************************************** * Support for listname-subscribe-request, etc., mailboxes * *********************************************************** Version 1.8d now supports the following generic -request mailboxes for lists: listname-subscribe-request listname-signoff-request listname-unsubscribe-request (where "listname" is the name of the list in question). Mail sent to these addresses will be interpreted as explicit SUBSCRIBE, SIGNOFF, or UNSUBSCRIBE commands, respectively, for the list in question, regardless of the text contained in the body of the mail message (which will simply be discarded). Unix and VMS hosts will need to add appropriate aliases (as usual) to sendmail and PMDF, respectively, in order to activate this functionality. Windows installations using either the SMTPL.EXE "listener" or LSMTP have this functionality activated automatically.
