***** Note these commands work in conjunction with list settings, for example anyone sending the command "who" will not automatically get the list members. it depends on the list setting "Members List Visibility". which can be set for "anyone" or "only mailling list members" or "only mailling list moderators"
So user can request to join a mail list by sending a email to "emaillist-request@example.com" with the subject "join" or with subject "leave" to leave a list.
All email commands will work differently based on your list settings, so we recommend if you want to start using email commands on your list, that you play around with them, by sending email commands to simulate your user experience.
