To subscribe to a list run by listserv (which actually covers several different types of software which share the same name and common core commands) send an email message to LISTSERV@wherever, NOT to the list itself. If you send mail to the list itself, it will be sent in turn to all members of the list. This, obviously, should be reserved for messages you want all members of the list to read and potentially respond to.
For example, to subscribe to the list Pol-Econ, you'd send email to listserv@SHSU.edu.
In the body of your email message, if your name is Adam Smith, you
would write the one line message:
subscribe Pol-Econ Adam Smith
Note that your name is typically your first and last name. Be sure
to remove any signature at the bottom of your message to avoid confusing
the mail software.
To cancel a subscription, use
signoff list
where list is the name of the list. Again, email should be sent to
listserv at the site that houses the list. Finally, help on these and
other commands can be obtained by sending a one line message with
"help" in it.
Messages to the list itself should be sent to Pol-Econ@SHSU.edu, for example. Any such message will be sent to all members of the list.

Postings from Usenet's moderated newsgroup sci.econ.research
are "gatewayed" to this group, and postings from Pol-Econ are
sent to the sci.econ.research moderator for possible inclusion
in that group. Discussions range over all of economics. Since the
traffic is fairly heavy, you can choose to have all messages sent
in one message once a day in a digest. Rather than subscribing to
Pol-Econ, subscribe to Pol-Econ-Digest. If you'd like to switch
from Pol-Econ to Pol-Econ-Digest, first use the command to
unsubscribe from Pol-Econ: signoff Pol-Econ

Information Bank on African Development Studies (IBADS)
listserv@tome.worldbank.org
This mailing list is run by the Africa Technical Department at the
World Bank, and its aim is to spread information about development
issues in Sub-Saharan Africa. To quote further from their
subscription message, the IBADS consists of an index and a list of
abstracts of studies undertaken by the Africa Technical Department
at the World Bank. The service will eventually be expanded to
include full-text reports, as well as development studies undertaken
by other units in the World Bank, and other development, academic,
and research organizations worldwide.
Besides the usual listserv subscription method, you must also include your specialty, organization, address, and subject of interest, when you subscribe.
