E-lists at Cornell
Deleting Members from an E-list (Lyris)
|
Only list administrators may delete (also called remove and unsubscribe)
members other than themselves from an e-list.
|
|
To delete one member,
send an e-mail message to
listname-request@cornell.edu
where listname is the name of the list you want to join, including the hyphen and
the letter L at the end of the list name.
Your message needs three lines of text, based on the following syntax
| |
login password
delete emailaddress
end
|
|
where
- password is your password as
administrator of the e-list
- emailaddress is the full address
of the new member. Do not include the member's name.
 The
message must be sent in plain text, that is, no formatting, font styles,
or HTML code. (How do I send plain text?)
Here's an example:
Optional: To delete this address without having Lyris send a "you
have been unsubscribed" message, put the word "quiet"
(no quotation marks) at the end of the "delete" line.
To delete more than one member,
send an e-mail message to
listname-request@cornell.edu
where listname is the name of the list you want to join, including the hyphen and
the letter L at the end of the list name.
Your message will have several lines of text, based on the following
syntax
| |
login password
delete <<
emailaddress
emailaddress
emailaddress
>>
end
|
|
where
- password is your password as
administrator of the e-list
- emailaddress is the full address
of the member to be deleted.
The
message must be sent in plain text, that is, no formatting, font styles,
or HTML code.
Do not include the members' names.
The double "less than" signs and double "greater than"
signs are required to show the beginning and end of your list
of members to be removed.
Here's an example:
Optional: To delete these addresses without having Lyris send a "you
have been unsubscribed" message to each one, put the word "quiet"
(no quotation marks) on the second line, between "delete" and "<<"
To delete ALL members of a list (except for administrators),
send an e-mail message to
listname-request@cornell.edu
where listname is the name of the list for which you want to delete all members, including the hyphen and
the letter L at the end of the list name.
Your message needs three lines of text, based on the following syntax
| |
login password
delete all
end
|
|
where
- password is your password as
administrator of the e-list
- the word all replaces individual e-mail addresses
The
message must be sent in plain text, that is, no formatting, font styles,
or HTML code.
Danger Danger!
Be really, really certain that you want to completely remove
ALL members of a list before you send the "all" command.
You won't be asked "Are you sure?" You won't have an
easy way to undo the command. Think twice before you click the
Send button. Okay, think three times.
