27.1.2. How to subscribe
FreeBSD.ORG, so to post to a
given list you simply mail to listname@FreeBSD.ORG. It
will then be redistributed to mailing list members world-wide.<majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG> and include
In the body of your message. For example, to subscribe yourself to
freebsd-announce, you'd do:
subscribe <listname> [<optional address>]
If you want to subscribe yourself under a different name, or submit a
subscription request for a local mailing list (note: this is more efficient
if you have several interested parties at one site, and highly appreciated by
us!), you would do something like:
% mail majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG
subscribe freebsd-announce
^D
Finally, it is also possible to unsubscribe yourself from a list, get a
list of other list members or see the list of mailing lists again by
sending other types of control messages to majordomo. For a complete
list of available commands, do this:
% mail majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG
subscribe freebsd-announce local-announce@somesite.com
^D
Again, we would like to request that you keep discussion in the technical mailing
lists on a technical track. If you are only interested in the "high points"
then it is suggested that you join freebsd-announce, which is intended only
for infrequent traffic.
% mail majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG
