How do I contact the ListOwner of a list I've subscribed to?

Every list on the system is assigned an 'alias' which is used as an email address for the list. If a list named, "The World of Dogs", were created, it could have an alias of "dog", for example. The alias would be used as part of the list's email address, e.g., dog@ChristianEmailService.com. 

Each list is also provided with a method for contacting the ListOwner by sending email to ListAlias_admin@ChristianEmailService.com. Based on the previous eample, to reach the ListOwner of The Word of Dogs, you would send an email to "dogs_admin@ChristianEmailService.com".

When you subscribe to a list hosted at Christian eMail Service you will be provided with a welcome message that provides your account information, how to contact the ListOwner, and a reminder regarding this process.
