| Commands |
Commands are coded e-mail instructions which, when sent to the proper address, can change the way you receive and send mail.
Commands can also configure your subscription in other ways. Most members will not wish to involve themselves with commands and in any case most of list functions can be carried out online from the SWPH-EDUCATION page on the MAILTALK site
For those wishing to know more about them, a full list of command formats can be found here
For those wishing to explore the command system further here is an example of how to use commands to temporarily suspend receipt of SWPH-EDUCATION list messages. You will find a link to further commands at the foot of this page.
Send all commands to
listserv@mailtalk.ac.uk (NOT to the SWPH-EDUCATION list).
The suspend mail command consists of the following message in this form (no subject heading required):
|
To: |
listserv@mailtalk.ac.uk |
|
Subject: |
|
|
Message: |
|
|
SET * NOMAIL - - |

The hyphens are required in all command formats and mark the end of the command so that signatures and other following text do not confuse the command server.
When you wish to receive mail again send this command:

listserv@mailtalk.ac.uk |
