    Removes your name from the specified public mailing list.


REVIEW MailingListName

    Retrieves a list of all the members of a mailing list.  Note that
    you may turn off the inclusion of your name in the mailing list by
    using the "OPTION listname REVIEW OFF" command describes below.


ECHOMAIL MailListName

    Causes all mail sent to the specified mailing list to be
    echoed back to the sender.  The default is to send the message
    to everyone except the sender.

OPTION List-Name List-Option Value

    The OPTION command allows you to set various options for the
    specified mailing list.

    Currently, there are three List-Options available:

    ALIAS Return-Address

        The ALIAS List-Option allows you to change the address
        V-MailServer sends the mailing list to. For example, if you wish
        to receive a mailing list to a mailbox other than the one you
        subscribed to the list with, you can use this List-Option.

    REPLY ON|OFF

        Many mailing lists are setup to have the Reply-To: header set to
        the mailing list address. You may turn this off if you so wish.

    REVIEW ON|OFF

        Turns ON or OFF your address in the REVIEW listing


    Examples:

        OPTION vmail-l ALIAS My-New-Address@some.site
        OPTION test-l REPLY OFF
        OPTION test-l REVIEW OFF
