Re: [cobalt-users] One-Way list - raq4

["John D. Gorena" <Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually,  I have found other things wrong with the GUI like all
addresses with any CAPS gets deleted.  To avoid these types of problems,
I send an E-mail to majordomo to subscribe or unsubscribe.  The way you
do this is a change per line in an email like the following example.

EXAMPLE:  Let's say that you have a "abc-userlist" on "adomain.com" and
the password is "123456"
I send an email to "majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxx"
and in the message area not the subject line, I add or delete all that I
want to like:
approve 123456 unsubscribe abc-userlist ADDRESS1
approve 123456 unsubscribe abc-userlist ADDRESS2
approve 123456 subscribe abc-userlist ADDRESS3
approve 123456 subscribe abc-userlist ADDRESS4
approve 123456 unsubscribe abc-userlist ADDRESS5


Then send it.  In a few minutes you will get a reply back with the
change results
