Via the Web Interface
You may manage some of the more advanced features of your listserve via the WebAdmin interface. Login with your domain manager account to access the Lists tab in Webadmin where you may configure many of the below settings, and members.

Via E-mail
If you have a large list of addresses to add or delete, e-mail list membership may also be handled via e-mail directly to the listserver itself. Make sure your e-mail address is listed as a moderator in the WebAdmin interface first.
You will need to be sure the following settings are enabled, if this was not requested when the list was initially configured.
-Allow multiple commands
-Allow extended join/leave commands
-Allow review command

Send as e-mail to listname-request@yourdomain.com with one of the following commands:
