+======ListServer Commands======
+The [[listserver settings|ListServer]] is an automated process in VPOP3 which manages [[mailing lists]]. People can send commands to the ListServer to perform various functions remotely.
+Whether these commands are allowed, and exactly how they work depends on the particular mailing list's settings.
+=====Subject Commands=====
+These commands can be sent in the message subject. If these are used, then the remainder of the message content is ignored
+===Subscribe===
+(Can be abbreviated to **sub**)
+Send a subject of **subscribe listname**. For example
+  Subject: subscribe offers-list
+n.b. Use the //list name//, not the email address of the list
+This adds the sender email address to the specified mailing list. This only works if the list supports subscriptions. If the list verifies subscriptions, then a message will be sent back to the original sender to confirm the subscription.
+===Unsubscribe===
+(Can be abbreviated to **uns**)
+Send a subject of **unsubscribe listname**. For example
+  Subject: unsubscribe offers-list
+n.b. Use the //list name//, not the email address of the list
+You can use * as the listname, to unsubscribe from all lists managed by this ListServer.
+This removes the sender email address from the specified mailing list. If the list verifies unsubscriptions, then a message will be sent back to the original sender to confirm the unsubscription.
+=====Message Body Commands=====
+If the subject is not one of the commands above, then the ListServer will process the message body as a list of commands - one command per line. The commands are as below:
+===Subscribe===
+(Can be abbreviated to **sub**)
+Send **subscribe listname**. For example
+  subscribe offers-list
+n.b. Use the //list name//, not the email address of the list
+This adds the sender email address to the specified mailing list. This only works if the list supports subscriptions. If the list verifies subscriptions, then a message will be sent back to the original sender to confirm the subscription.
+===Unsubscribe===
+(Can be abbreviated to **uns**)
+Use **unsubscribe listname**. For example
+  unsubscribe offers-list
+or **unsubscribe listname emailaddress** to unsubscribe an alternate email address, for example
+  unsubscribe offers-list me@company.com
+n.b. Use the //list name//, not the email address of the list
+You can use * as the listname, to unsubscribe from all lists managed by this ListServer.
+This removes the sender email address from the specified mailing list. If the list verifies unsubscriptions, then a message will be sent back to the original sender to confirm the unsubscription.
+===Users===
+Use **users listname**. For example
+  users offers-list
+n.b. Use the //list name//, not the email address of the list
+This returns a list of the email addresses of the current list members. This command is usually not available, but can be enabled in the mailing list settings.
+===Which===
+Use **which**.
+This returns a list of the mailing lists on this ListServer which you are a member of.
+===Lists===
+Use **lists**.
+This returns a list of public mailing lists which the ListServer supports.
+===NoMail===
+Use **nomail listname**, for example:
+  nomail offers-list
+or use **nomail listname yyyy-mm-dd**, for example:
+  nomail offers-list 2015-02-28
+This turns off sending messages to your email address, without unsubscribing you totally. The second variant will automatically re-enable sending messages to your email address on the specified date. This command can be useful if you are going on holiday.
+You can use * instead of the list name, to make it act on all mailing lists on this ListServer.
+===Mail===
+Use **mail listname**, for example:
+  mail offers-list
+This turns on sending messages to your email address. This is used after the **NoMail** command above.
+You can use * instead of the list name, to make it act on all mailing lists on this ListServer.
+===Quiet===
+Use **quiet**
+The ListServer does not send back an email response.
+===Help===
+Use **help**.
+The ListServer sends back a list of commands which are possible.
+===Quit===
+Use **quit**.
+The ListServer does not process any more commands in this message. This is useful if a signature is added to your message when you send it, and you do not want to receive any error messages if the ListServer cannot recognise commands.
+===Stop===
+Use **stop**.
+An alias for the **quit** command.
