You may also use the listserv web interface to configure your user profile, to use basic listserv commands and to search discussion list archives. Please visit: <nowiki>https://listserv.collectionscanada.gc.ca/cgi-bin/wa</nowiki> .

To send a message to all of  the people currently subscribed to the list, just send mail to [[Mailto:PFAN-L@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA|PFAN-L@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA]], which is called the list address. You must never try to send  any command to that  address, as it would be distributed to all the  people who have subscribed. All commands must be  sent to  [[Mailto:LISTSERV@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA|LISTSERV@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA]], which is  the LISTSERV address. It is important to understand the difference between the two.
 +
 +
You may leave the list at any  time by sending a "SIGNOFF PFAN-L" command to [[Mailto:LISTSERV@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA|LISTSERV@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA]].  You can also tell LISTSERV  how you want it to confirm the receipt of  messages you send to the list. To send yourself a copy of your own  messages, send a "SET PFAN-L REPRO" command.
 +
 +
Alternatively, to have LISTSERV send  you a short acknowledgement instead of the entire message, send a  "SET PFAN-L ACK NOREPRO" command. Finally, you can turn  off acknowledgements completely with the  "SET PFAN-L NOACK NOREPRO" command.

PFAN-L uses a UNIX-based LISTSERV software. Information about advanced commands for LISTSERV can be retrieved by sending the following message:
 +
 +
To: LISTSERV@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA
 +
 +
