Server commands must go to the server address (LISTSERV AT VM.MARIST DOT EDU) 
and
not the list address (ADSM-L AT VM.MARIST DOT EDU)

I have attached instructions that were sent to me.

Can someone tell me how to get off this?  I've tried to do it many times,
but it doesn't seem to be working.  Thanks.

Subject:	You are now subscribed to the ADSM-L list
From:	"L-Soft list server at MARIST (1.8d)" <LISTSERV AT VM.MARIST DOT EDU>
To:	"Ford, Phillip" <phillip.ford AT spcorp DOT com>

Your subscription to  the ADSM-L list (ADSM: Dist Stor  Manager) has been
accepted.

Please save this message for future  reference, especially if this is the
first time you are subscribing to an electronic mailing list. If you ever
need to leave  the list, you will find the  necessary instructions below.
Perhaps  more importantly,  saving a  copy of  this message  (and of  all
future subscription notices  from other mailing lists) in  a special mail
folder will give you instant access to the list of mailing lists that you
are subscribed  to. This may  prove very useful the  next time you  go on
vacation and  need to leave  the lists temporarily so  as not to  fill up
your  mailbox while  you  are away!  You should  also  save the  "welcome
messages" from the  list owners that you will  occasionally receive after
subscribing to a new list.

To send  a message to  all the people  currently subscribed to  the list,
just send mail  to ADSM-L AT VM.MARIST DOT EDU. This is called  "sending mail to
the list," because  you send mail to a single  address and LISTSERV makes
copies   for  all   the  people   who  have   subscribed.  This   address
(ADSM-L AT VM.MARIST DOT EDU) is also called the  "list address." You must never
try to send  any command to that  address, as it would  be distributed to
all the  people who  have subscribed.  All commands must  be sent  to the
"LISTSERV  address," LISTSERV AT VM.MARIST DOT EDU  (or [email protected]).
It is  very important to understand  the difference between the  two, but
fortunately it  is not complicated.  The LISTSERV  address is like  a FAX
number that connects you to a machine, whereas the list address is like a
normal voice line connecting  you to a person. If you  make a mistake and
dial the FAX number when you wanted  to talk to someone on the phone, you
will quickly  realize that you used  the wrong number and  call again. No
harm will have been done. If on the other hand you accidentally make your
FAX call  someone's voice  line, the  person receiving  the call  will be
inconvenienced, especially if your FAX then re-dials every 5 minutes. The
fact that  most people  will eventually  connect the  FAX machine  to the
voice line to  allow the FAX to  go through and make the  calls stop does
not mean  that you  should continue  to send FAXes  to the  voice number.
People would just get mad at you.  It works pretty much the same way with
mailing  lists, with  the difference  that  you are  calling hundreds  or
thousands of people  at the same time, and consequently  you can expect a
lot of people to get upset if  you consistently send commands to the list
address.

You may leave the list at any  time by sending a "SIGNOFF ADSM-L" command
to LISTSERV AT VM.MARIST DOT EDU (or [email protected]).  You can also tell
LISTSERV how you want  it to confirm the receipt of  messages you send to
the list.  If you  do not  trust the  system, send  a "SET  ADSM-L REPRO"
command and LISTSERV will  send you a copy of your  own messages, so that
you can see that  the message was distributed and did  not get damaged on
the  way. After  a while  you  may find  that this  is getting  annoying,
especially if  your mail program  does not tell  you that the  message is
from you when  it informs you that  new mail has arrived  from ADSM-L. If
you send  a "SET ADSM-L  ACK NOREPRO" command,  LISTSERV will mail  you a
short acknowledgement instead, which will  look different in your mailbox
directory. With most mail programs you will know immediately that this is
an  acknowledgement  you  can  read  later. Finally,  you  can  turn  off
acknowledgements completely with "SET ADSM-L NOACK NOREPRO".

Following  instructions from  the list  owner, your  subscription options
have been set to "MIME" rather than the usual LISTSERV defaults. For more
information about subscription options, send  a "QUERY ADSM-L" command to
LISTSERV AT VM.MARIST DOT EDU (or [email protected]).

Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can get a
list of the available archive files  by sending an "INDEX ADSM-L" command
to LISTSERV AT VM.MARIST DOT EDU (or [email protected]). You can then order
these  files with  a "GET  ADSM-L LOGxxxx"  command, or  using LISTSERV's
database  search facilities.  Send an  "INFO DATABASE"  command for  more
information on the latter.

This  list is  available  in digest  form.  If you  wish  to receive  the
digested version of the postings, just issue a SET ADSM-L DIGEST command.

Please note that  it is presently possible for other  people to determine
that  you are  signed up  to the  list through  the use  of the  "REVIEW"
command,  which  returns   the  e-mail  address  and  name   of  all  the
subscribers. If  you do not  want your name to  be visible, just  issue a
"SET ADSM-L CONCEAL" command.

More  information on  LISTSERV  commands  can be  found  in the  LISTSERV
reference  card, which  you can  retrieve  by sending  an "INFO  REFCARD"
command to LISTSERV AT VM.MARIST DOT EDU (or [email protected]).
