How do I subscribe to a Mailman list? 

1. A person can submit a subscription request to a list by going to the Mailing list Information page: https://lists.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/[list_name]
   
   

2. On the page section with the heading: 'Subscribing to… [list_name]', the subscriber will need to enter the following:

   1. Email address

   2. Name (optional)

   3. Pick a password

   4. Re-enter your password 

3. Then click the 'Subscribe' button. 

4. A moderator will receive your request, and will approve or deny it. You will be notified via email when a decision has been made. 

How do I unsubscribe from a Mailman list? 

1. Go to the mailing list information page, https://lists.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/[list_name] and scroll down to the bottom.
   

2. Enter your email address in the lower box, then click the 'Unsubscribe or edit options' button.
   
   

3. Scroll down the mailing list options page to 'Unsubscribe'.
   
   

4. Click on the 'Unsubscribe' button.

5. An email is sent to the address and the member will only be removed if they send a confirmation response.

How can I view all of the lists for which I am a member?

1. Go to one of your lists’ 'General Information' pages, and browse down to the 'Mailing List Subscriber' fields to “Enter your address and password to visit the subscribers list.” 

2. Click on your email address to visit your subscription options page.

3. In the second section on the right: 'Your other mailman.uwaterloo.ca subscriptions' click the 'List my other subscriptions' button
   
   

4. A page will appear of your mailman.uwaterloo.ca subscriptions. 

Vacation settings

1. From the Subscription Options page browse down to 'Mail Delivery'. 

2. Click 'Disabled' and then 'Set globally'.
   
   

3. Scroll down to the page bottom and click the 'Submit My Changes' button.

Use this if you want to make the same membership option changes to your other subscriptions – for example: when you go away temporarily on vacation. (Please remember to reset things by clicking 'Enabled' and 'Set globally' when you come back.)
