Question:
How do I remove recipients from my LISTSERV list?

Answer:

  1. Go to the LISTSERV 16.0 (http://listserv.vt.edu/cgi-bin/wa.cgi?LMGT1) Web site.
  2. In the Email Address: text box, type your e-mail address.
  3. In the Password: text box, type your LISTSERV password.
  4. Click the Log In button.
  5. At the top of the window, click the List Management button.
  6. Complete the following directions depending on whether you want to delete single subscribers or delete subscribers in bulk.
    • To delete single subscribers:
      1. From the menu, select List Dashboard.
      2. Scroll to the bottom of the window, to the right of your list name, under the Subscribers column, click the [View] link.
      3. From the list of subscribers, to the left of each subscriber name you want to remove, place a check in the check box.
      4. Click the Delete Selected Subscribers button.
      5. In the confirmation window, click OK.
    • To delete subscribers in bulk:
      1. From the menu, select Subscriber Management.
      2. Select the Bulk Operations tab.
        • To remove all subscribers from the list, click the Remove all subscribers from [Your List Name], and add the imported addresses (to remove all subscribers, select this option and omit the input file) radio button.
        • Note: In place of [Your List Name] will be your list name.

        • To remove subscribers using an imported text file:

          Note: The imported text file should be in plain text (.txt) format. You should list each subscriber's e-mail address, first name, and last name on a separate line.

          Example: If you wanted to delete three subscribers using a text file, your text file would be in the following format:
          jdoe284032@vt.edu John Doe
          davidgeorge5625@vt.edu David George
          erikar3284@vt.edu Erika Riles

          1. Click the Remove the imported addresses from [Your List Name]; do not add any subscribers radio button.
          2. Note: In place of [Your List Name] will be your list name.

          3. Click the Browse... button.
          4. Navigate to and select the text file containing the addresses you want to remove.
          5. Click the Open button.
      3. Click the Import button.
