Unsubscribing an Individual from a Course Mail Mailing List as the List Administrator

To unsubscribe an individual from a Course mail list as the administrator, simply send mail with the unsubscribe command to the administrative address:

  majordomo@coursemail.umd.edu

with no subject, and the unsubscribe command in the body:

  approve  password  unsubscribe  list_name  email_address

where password is the administrative password for the list (your new 9-digit University ID number (U_ID) by default; NOT your old UMID/SSN or Directory ID), list_name is the name of the list from which you want to unsubscribe the individual, and email_address is the mail under which they're currently subscribed. For example:

  approve 123456789 unsubscribe math999-0101-fall07 joeuser@umd.edu

You should receive a confirmation e-mail from majordomo@coursemail.umd.edu which contains a body similar to this:

  >>>> approve password  unsubscribe  list_name  email_address
  Succeeded.

If the command was unsuccessful, the body of the return e-mail will give some explanation as to why this happened. If you don't understand the error message(s), please contact the Office of Information Technology (OIT) Help Desk.
