From User BestServe Page:
BestServ Documentation - Help file for users
(I) Synopsis of BestServ list aliases
listname - post to the list
listname-response - authentication responses sent here
listname-request - send subscribe/unsubscribe/etc...
listname-command - send moderator command requests
listname-errors - (error return for bounces, invisible)
listname-owner - send mail to the moderator of the list
bestserv-owner - moderator of the whole mailing list manager
bestserv-errors - (error return for bounces, invisible)
(II) Getting This Help File
Email a message to the request address of the list. For example, if
the list is called 'test', you would email a message to
'test-request@hostname.domain'. On this server, it would be
'test-request@lists.best.com'.
The body of the message should contain a single line, left justified,
containing the keyword 'help' in lower case.
The list server will generally respond with this help file.
(III) Authentication
Many of the requests you make to the list server require authentication.
The list server authenticates a request by emailing a message back to you
with a special Subject: line. The message contains complete instructions.
You normally Reply to the message (such that the original Subject
is still in the Subject: header, possibly with an Re: in front of
it). You must edit the REJECT clause in the Subject: line to
say ACCEPT if you want to go ahead and run your original command.
You must be sure to leave the ID clause intact or the list manager will
not be able to authenticate your request.
The purpose of authentication is to ensure that a valid return email
address exists and to disuade spammers from crashing the list. The
moderator has the ability to turn on authentication AND moderation for
any request, so you may not get an immediate response.
(IV) Subscribing
To subscribe to a list you normally send email to the -request address
of the list, as in 'test-request@hostname.domain'. The body of the
message should contain the keyword 'subscribe' alone or, if you want
to subscribe a third party address, the subscribe keyword may be followed
by an email address.
subscribe
or
subscribe email-address
By default, you will be subscribed to the digest version of the list.
To subscribe to the single-message-per-mail version, use the
'subsingle' command instead of the 'subscribe' command. The list manager
may or may not have the list configured to force digest distribution,
so you may not have a choice.
(V) Third Party Subscribes
A Third Party Subscribe occurs when person A subscribes person B
rather then just himself. This is normally allowed. The list manager
will most likely have recipient verification turned on, which means
that person B will be sent an email asking him or her to acknowledge
the subscription before that person is actually added to the list.
If you receive a third party verification request and you do not want to
be on the list, simply ignore the mail.
(VI) Posting from multiple email addresses
By default, most lists only allow subscribed addresses to post to
the list. You can add other addresses to the list with the
'alias' command.
alias email-address
This allows you to post to the list from another email-address
without the list distribution being sent to that address. You can add
as many aliases as you like.
(VII) Unsubscribing
To unsubscribe from a list, send the 'unsubscribe' command. You can
also unsubscribe third parties by adding an email address.
unsubscribe
or
unsubscribe email-address
Note that if you have several list aliases, you should unsubscribe
from those aliases as well as the one you are receiving the list on.
(VIII) List Information
You can request list-specific information with the 'info' command.
