If you change your e-mail address, it is not necessary for you to signoff under your old address and subscribe under your new address to switch your EEAC list subscription(s). You can use LISTSERV®'s CHANGE procedure to take care of this action.

LISTSERV® is an automated mailing list program. It is not a person. It expects you to enter commands following a specific syntax. LISTSERV® will not recognize any command unless you type or copy it exactly as shown! Follow these guidelines when entering commands:

• Enter commands in the body of your message. LISTSERV® ignores anything in the Subject line.
• Case doesn't matter. We show upper case for clarity and emphasis.
• Enter only one command per line, and nothing else on that line.
• You can enter commands for more than one list in the same message, as long as each command is entered on a separate line.
• The full list name must be entered exactly as shown below, including hyphens, where appropriate.
• There are spaces between all words, and also between words and "*"s. Enter all spaces as shown.
• Do not include any extraneous punctuation, like a period at the end of the command.
• Do not include anything else in the message (other text, signatures, etc.)

If your old e-mail account is still active, you may use the CHANGE procedure yourself to switch the address on your EEAC list subscription(s). In order for this to work, you must have access to both your old and new e-mail addresses. You must send the message from your OLD e-mail address (the one currently subscribed).

Address this and all administrative commands to:

This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

If you are subscribed to more than one EEAC list, you can change your subscription address for all lists at the same time.

If you are changing your address for multiple lists, the body of the message should contain this command:

CHANGE * newaddress

where "newaddress" is the NEW e-mail address at which you now want to receive list messages.

If you are changing your address for only one list, the body of the message should contain this command:

CHANGE listname newaddress

where "listname" is the full name of the list, as shown above, and "newaddress" is the NEW e-mail address at which you now want to receive list messages.

LISTSERV® will first send a confirmation message for each list to the OLD address. You must reply to this message from the OLD address, using the "OK" procedure as described in it, in order for the change to proceed.

LISTSERV® will then send a confirmation message for each list to the NEW address. You must reply to this message from the NEW address, using the "OK" procedure as described in it, in order for the change to be completed.

You will receive additional messages giving you further instructions and/or telling you that the actions have been processed.

If you can no longer access your old e-mail account, then you will be unable to process the change on your own. Please send a message to:

This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

In it, please provide the following information:

• that you are requesting a change in the address at which you receive list messages
• to which EEAC lists you are subscribed
• your real name
• the address at which you are currently receiving list messages
• the new address where you now want to receive list messages

One of the list administrators will process your request, usually within 24 hours.
