In the line above, your real name is, of course, your real name. The listprocessor is an automated system and will extract your email address from the header of your message. Since a computer, not a person, will read your message, additional words to make the message more polite are unnecessary and will interfere with the computer's ability to find the information it's looking for.
You will receive a welcome email which will tell you how to change your mail options and how to unsubscribe from the list; save this information for future reference.
