Instructions

If you don't have the contact information for the owner of a LISTSERV list, you can use the generic contact email address in the following format to reach them: 

listname-request@listserv.albany.edu

Replace "listname" with the actual name of your list.  For example, if the list name is BIO100-L, you can send a message to BIO100-L-request@listserv.albany.edu and it will reach the owner of the list.

For lists that have their subscribers automatically loaded (for example, the Broadcast Email Lists), this method will not work as a service account/automated process "owns" the list - the message sent to the alias above will not be read by a human. When in doubt, contact the ITS Service Desk for more information about a list.
