You can only remove mailing lists that you own. The Majordomo software does not
actually remove mailing lists, so you need to use the "listmgr" utility.
To remove your mailing list, just send electronic mail addressed to:
listmgr@listlink.berkeley.edu
that contains a "remove" command in the body of the mail message.
This mail must originate from the UCLink account that originally created
the mailing list.
For example,
remove your_list_name list_password
replacing "your_list_name" with the name of your list and "list_password"
with your mailing password.
If you have forgotten your list_password, please send mail to
consult@uclink.berkeley.edu.
Here is a step-by-step example of how to remove a mailing list. Let's say that
a user named "kirsten" wants to remove an mailing list named "bird_list".
Kirsten can remove the list by sending mail addressed to:
listmgr@listlink.berkeley.edu,
that contains this line in the body of the mail message:
remove bird_list xyz
Before her mailing list is removed, it will be verified that Kirsten is the
owner of the mailing list. Kirsten will receive an message that asks
her to verify her request using an assigned "verification number":
From listmgr Wed Feb 28 15:48:21 1996
Date: Wed, 28 Feb 1996 15:48:20 -0800
From: List Manager <listmgr>
To: kirsten@uclink4.berkeley.edu
Subject: Results of listmgr commands
Dear kirsten,
Your request to remove the bird_list mailing list has been approved.
Before removing the mailing list, we need to verify that your account,
kirsten@uclink4.berkeley.edu, originated this request.
For verification, please send mail addressed to listmgr@listlink.berkeley.edu
that contains this command in the body of the mail message:
verify bird_list.6032a
If you do not wish to verify this request, no action is necessary.
After Kirsten sends the verify command back to listmgr, she will receive a
confirmation that her bird_list mailing list has been removed:

Date: Wed, 28 Feb 1996 15:56:46 -0800
