Newsgroup comp.os.vms gated to the info-vax mailing list. From the VMS
faq:

INTRO4.
How do I subscribe to or unsubscribe from INFO-VAX?
The address for subscription requests, as well as notes intended for
the moderator, is [log in to unmask]

Subscription requests are handled automatically by a mail server. This
mail server ignores the subject line and processes each line of the
message as a command. The syntax for subscribing and unsubscribing and
setting digest or non-digest modes is:

    * SUBSCRIBE INFO-VAX
    * UNSUBSCRIBE INFO-VAX (REMOVE, SIGNOFF, and SIGN-OFF are valid
synonyms)
    * SET INFO-VAX DIGEST (to receive in Digest format)
    * SET INFO-VAX NODIGEST (to receive each message individually)

Case is irrelevant and attempts to fetch a copy of the mailing list
will be rejected (I consider the information to be confidential). Any
message not understood by the mailserver will be forwarded to a human
(allegedly) for manual processing.

We have pretty much the same set of views expressed by HP3000 users.
