One of the benefits of using Majordomo to manage mailing lists is the ability to send commands to the Majordomo server. These commands make it possible to automate tasks such as adding or removing members to the list and getting information about the list.
You send majordomo commands to the following address:
majordomo@<site name.com>
where <site_name.com> is the name of your domain.
In the body of the email message, you can include one or more of the commands listed in the Majordomo email commands table.
Note: The email message must include only commands in the body of the email message; it can contain no other text.
