Computing Services creates mail lists for every class offered on campus each semester. The address is created as: Subject plus course number plus section
Ex. Rhetoric and Writing 1310 Section 10 becomes RHET131010@ualr.edu.
To subscribe to a list, send a message to listserv@ualr.edu with the body of...
subscribe listname first name last name
Using the example above, John Doe would send...
subscribe rhet131010 John Doe
The message should be sent from the mail account where subscribers want to receive listserv messages. Listserv will subscribe the address from which the subscribe request is received.
Do not include a signature line such as the one at the bottom of many free, web-based e-mail providers. Do not include carbon copies or a subject line.
If you need further information, please feel free to contact Computing Services at 569-3345 or 569-8720.
If an instructor would like to see who has subscribed to their class list, send a message to listserv@ualr.edu with the body of...
