In this guide, you will find instructions about communicating with the list server via e-mail.
SYMPA mailing list software enables mailing list management via email and web. The same operations can be performed via the web interface, but all this is visually easier and perhaps more understandable.
SYMPA commands are divided into two groups: commands for regular users and moderators/administrators.
NB! All commands must be sent to sympa@lists.ut.ee.
