Introduction

A subscription to an email list works like a subscription to a magazine. A user will receive messages from all lists to which they have subscribed, just as a subscriber to a magazine receives issues for each of his or her magazine subscriptions. Subscriber accounts are entirely optional--as a subscriber, you may join or unsubscribe from any list at any time, or maintain or delete your account at your discretion.

Subscribing to Lists

A user may subscribe to a list several ways. If you know the alias of the list you wish to subscribe to, you may do so via email by sending a message to listalias_admin@SendMeMore.Net with the word "Subscribe" in the subject line, where listalias is replaced by the alias of the list you wish to join. You should then receive an email message from the list requesting that you confirm your subscription. Simply reply to this email to confirm. If you do not reply, you will not be subscribed to the list. Once your subscription is confirmed, you will receive a welcome message from the list.

If you know the owner of the list, or someone who is already subscribed to the list, you may request that he or she invite you to join the list. Once the List Leader or Subscriber invites you, you will receive an email request to confirm your subscription. Once you have replied to this email and confirmed your subscription, you will receive a welcome message, indicating your subscription is verified.

If the list has a join box, simply enter your email address into the join box and click on the Subscribe Now button. You will be taken to a page which displays the list's name and description. Click the Continue button to receive your email confirmation message. Reply to this email message to confirm your subscription, and once your confirmation is received, you will be sent a message to welcome you to the list.

Viewing Subscription Information

You can review all of your subscriptions by logging on with your subscriber account and going to your Subscriber Controls page. At the top of your controls page, you will see a table which lists all of your subscriptions. For detailed information on a subscription, click on the list's name in the table to view the Subscription Information page. You will see the alias, name and description of the list to which you have subscribed, along with the date your subscription was confirmed.

Inviting a Friend

If you know the email address of one or more friends or associates who would like to join a list to which you are subscribed, you can send them subscription invitations. Simply click the Invite a Friend button on your Subscription Information page, and enter in the email addresses into the form fields provided on the Invite page. Click the Invite button to submit these email addresses. An invitation will be sent to each of them shortly. An invitation will not automatically subscribe anyone to a list. The recipient of the invitation must reply to the invitation message via email in order to confirm the subscription. Once you have sent out invitations, click on the link which states "return to the page that referred you" to go back to your Subscriber Controls page, or simply click the Subscribers tab in the navigation banner at the top of the page.

Unsubscribing from Lists

If you no longer wish to subscribe to a particular email list, you may unsubscribe yourself by clicking on the link from your Subscriber Controls Page. The Unsubscribe Page will display a list of your current subscriptions. Choose the list from which you'd like to unsubscribe by clicking the radio button next to the name of the list, the clicking the Unsubscribe button.

User Controls

You can manage and update your account information by logging on to the site at http://www.sendmemore.com/subscriber/, or clicking the Subscribers tab from the home page. Here you may change your personal information, email address, or password, or delete your account. For detailed information on each of these user controls, view our User Controls help page.

Starting Your Own Email List

If you already have a subscriber account, you are automatically entitled to a SendMeMore Network Service List Leader account as well. If you would like to start an email list of your own, simply Log On to the List Leader's Control page to view your List Leader account information. Read our help file on List Management for information on using your List Leader account, or click here to view our example on Creating a New List.
