Subscribing / Unsubscribing by E-Mail

DirectAdmin uses the popular Majordomo mailing list software, which allows mailing list management to be done via email. There are two methods to subscribe or unsubscribe from a mailing list:

Subscribing to a Mailing List

1. Via Majordomo

   • Send an email to majordomo@yourdomain.com and type subscribe listname (without quotes) in the message body.

2. Via List Request

   • Send an email to listname-request@yourdomain.com and type subscribe (without quotes) in the message body.

Each mailing list can also be available in digest form. Digest mode stores messages and sends them out once per period (e.g., weekly), reducing the frequency of individual emails. This is useful for larger lists to prevent recipients from being overwhelmed by daily messages.

To subscribe to the digest version of the list, follow the same steps for subscribing but use the following:

1. Majordomo Digest

   • Send an email to majordomo@yourdomain.com and type subscribe listname-digest (without quotes) in the message body.

2. Digest List Request

   • Send an email to listname-digest-request@yourdomain.com and type subscribe (without quotes) in the message body.

Unsubscribing from a Mailing List

To unsubscribe from a list, follow the same procedure as subscribing but replace the word “subscribe” with “unsubscribe” in the message body.

1. Via Majordomo

   • Send an email to majordomo@yourdomain.com and type unsubscribe listname (without quotes) in the message body.

2. Via List Request

   • Send an email to listname-request@yourdomain.com and type unsubscribe (without quotes) in the message body.

Majordomo will send a confirmation email if the subscription or unsubscription was successful. You can also view the list of subscribers directly from the control panel.
