SUBSCRIBE listname
Unsubscribing From a List
Use one of the following methods:
- Send an email to the address LISTSERV_NAME-unsubscribe-request@list.msu.edu (replace LISTSERV_NAME with the name of the listserv).
- Email listserv@list.msu.edu and include the following command line in the body of the message:
- Log in to the MSU Listserv “Subscriber’s Corner” and identify the list(s) that you wish to leave:
- Log into MSU Listserv. (Set a password if this is the first time logging in.)
- Select the Subscriber's Corner
- Select the list(s) you want to unsubscribe from.
- Select the drop-down menu at the bottom of the page and choose Unsubscribe.
- Select Submit
Additional Info
- Sometimes the methods above do not work. If you are having trouble, please contact the owner or sponsor of the list.
- Please do NOT send unsubscribe requests to the list’s “reply-to” address. Doing so results in not being removed from the list and causes everyone on the list to see your message.
