Using your UEA on UK Listserv

After creating your UEA, you may find that your subscribed UK Listserv mailing list(s) is no longer recognizing email sent from you. You may be still receiving email from the lists, but your emails sent to the list return with errors. This is because your email client is now using your UEA as the "From" address in emails you send. When you send the UK Listserv an email that uses your UEA as the "From" address, it does not recognize your UEA and responds with an error.

In order to access your subscribed UK Listserv mailing lists, you will need to update the subscriptions to all your mailing lists.

1. Open your web browser and go to the UK Listserv web site (http://lsv.uky.edu).

2. Click on the Manage your mailing list link. You will be prompted to login to the Listserv web service.

For the E-Mail Address field, enter your old email address that is currently used in your subscriptions.

For the Password field, enter your Listserv system password. If you do not have a Listserv password, or have forgotten what it was, click on the get a new LISTSERV password first link, and follow the instructions to create a Listserv password. Once your password is created, you will need to return to the Listserv login page and use your password.

Once you have entered your email address and Listserv password, click on the Login button to continue.

3. The List Management - main page screen will appear. Locate and click the Command button at the top right of the page.

4. You will see the Execute a LISTSERV command screen. In the Command field, enter "change * uea_address@uky.edu" where uea_address@uky.edu is your full UEA, and omitting quotation marks. Click on the Execute button to submit the command to the Listserv service.

5. The results of your command will display. If you are subscribed to any UK Listserv list, here will be at least one paragraph description about the confirmation request. You may close your browser window - you do not have to logout to the Listserv system.

6. Check the email account that is associated with your UEA. You should have one or more messages from the Listserv server, asking you to confirm this command request. You will get one email for each subscribed list.

For each request email you received from the Listserv server, do the following:

• Create a reply to the request email.
• In the body of your reply, type in OK, and send the message. You do NOT need to make any other changes or additions to your reply.
  

7. If you are subscribed to UK Listserv mailing lists under different email account(s), return to the UK Listserv web site and start back at step 1 with the next email account to change.
