Your command:
SUBSCRIBE BUGTRAQ MIT Redistribution List
has been received. You must now reply to this message (as explained
below) to complete your subscription. The purpose of this confirmation
procedure is to check that the address LISTSERV is about to add to the
list for your subscription is reachable. This is a typical procedure for
high-volume lists and all new subscribers are subjected to it - you are
not being singled out. Every effort has been made to make this
verification as simple and painless as possible. Thanks in advance for
your cooperation.
To confirm the execution of your command, simply reply to the present
message and type "ok" (without the quotes) as the text of your message.
Just the word "ok" - do not retype the command. This procedure will work
with any mail program that fully conforms to the Internet standards for
electronic mail. If you receive an error message, try sending a new
message to LISTSERV@NETSPACE.ORG (without using the "reply" function -
this is very important) and type "ok 2E9935" as the text of your message.
Finally, your command will be cancelled automatically if you do not
confirm it within 168h. After that time, you must start over and resend
the command to get a new confirmation code. If you change your mind and
decide that you do NOT want to confirm the command, simply discard the
present message and let the command expire on its own.
