Return a list of the current subscribers to a particular mailing list.

Syntax

SEND/LIST list-name

Qualifiers	Defaults
/COMMENTS	See text

Parameters

list-name

Required parameter specifying the name of the list whose subscribers are to be returned. Wild cards are not allowed.

Description

The SEND/LIST command responds with a message containing a list of the current subscribers to a given mailing list.

Qualifiers

/COMMENTS

/NOCOMMENTS

When /COMMENTS is specified, comment fields associated with each subscribed address will also be returned. Specify /NOCOMMENTS to have these fields stripped from the listing sent to you. The default behavior can vary from list to list. Generally the default behavior is to include the comments. Note that in RFC 822 addresses, comments are completely superfluous and it should be possible to strip any or all comments from an address without breaking the address. However, there are known to be mailers which stupidly put critical information into comment fields with the expectation that the comments will not be stripped or altered. Addresses for such mailers can be rendered unreplyable by removing the comment fields from them.
