Some email distribution lists at Kenyon are optional. If you are on an optional list, you can remove yourself from the list. The mail server terminology for removing yourself from a list is "leaving a list."

To leave a list, send a message to the address listname-request@kenyon.edu, where "listname" is the name of the specific list you want to leave. The subject of the message is irrelevant. In the body of the message, put only one line: LEAVE. For example, if you are on the allemp@kenyon.edu email distribution list, send a message to allemp-request@kenyon.edu with only one line in the body of the message: LEAVE. Do not put any text after this! (If you have an automatic signature attached to your outgoing mail, then put a second line: STOP after the LEAVE line. This will tell the mail system not to process any more lines after the STOP.)

You will receive an automated message from the mail system telling you that you have been successfully removed from the list, which takes effect immediately.
