The who command can be used to determine what e-mail addresses
are subscribed to a particular mailing list.
To change the restriction on the who command for a Course mail
list (from which e-mail addresses the who command will be
accepted), you need to update the configuration file for that list.
To do this, send an e-mail message to the Course mail administrative
address:
majordomo@coursemail.umd.edu
with the command:
approve password configset list_name who_access = access_value
in the body, where password is the admin password for the list (your
new 9-digit University ID (U_ID) by default, NOT your old UMID/SSN or Directory
ID), list_name is the name of the list, and access_value is the
type of access you wish to allow for the list. The three values available
are:
| open | Any e-mail address can submit the who
command |
| list | Only list members' e-mail address can submit the
who command |
| closed | No e-mail address can submit the who
command |
The default list password is the new 9-digit University ID (U_ID)
(NOT the old UMID/SSN!) of the person who created
the list originally. Your U_ID should be printed on your UM photo ID card;
if you don't know what it is, you can get it by
looking yourself
up in the UM Directory.
For example, if the name of the Course mail list is
"aasp100-0101-fall07" and the list password is "123456789",
the command to reconfigure the list to be closed would look like:
approve 123456789 configset aasp100-0101-fall07 who_access = closed
You should receive in return e-mail the confirmation of the successful
command execution. The admin e-mail response from Course mail should come
back within a couple of minutes.
Note: Even if the value for the who_access is set to
"closed", the list owner can submit the who command by
using the approve command prefix:
approve list_password who list_name
For example:
approve 123456789 who aasp100-0101-fall07
will retrieve the current list membership in the return mail.
