LISTSERV 17.0 Help

Help for the LISTSERV Command Interface

This is an interface for submitting LISTSERV commands that are not otherwise facilitated by the web interface. See Appendix A of the LISTSERV List Owner's Manual for a listing of all commands.

For some commands, the response is automatically displayed by the web interface. For others, a special command parameter must be used in order to display the response in the browser, otherwise the response is sent by email. Yet other commands are only able to respond by email.

The command interface can only be used for single line commands. In particular, the PUT command will not work through the web interface. Multi-line commands must be sent by email.

A selection of frequently used commands is available at the bottom of the page.
