Well, it's been almost 30 years since I had 2 years of high school French.
You'll really have more luck getting responses from World-wide network
lists if you post in English (French for diplomacy, German for engineering,
English for business - and computers).

If I've translated correctly, what you are looking for is:

TELL LISTSERV AT CANADA01 SUB INFO-MAC Denis Gauthier

(or you can put the SUB INFO-MAC Denis Gauthier line in email addressed to
LISTSERV@CANADA01).  INFO-MAC is one of many lists that exists on a LISTSERV;
hence, you send subscription requests (and other commands) to the LISTSERV
and messages to the subscribers to the list itself (normally).  HOWEVER!!!
INFO-MAC is one of the exceptions because it is a bitnet distribution of
a list that is maintained on another network (and which has readers and
contributors on many networks).  Messages for INFO-MAC subscribers go to:
info-mac@sumex-aim.Stanford.EDU

INFO-MAC is a BIG list (many subscribers) and, therefore, is "peered"
that is it is handled by several different LISTSERVs (several in Europe).
You can send a subscription request to any one of them, and the LISTSERV
will (should?) figure out which one is closest to you and make sure your
mail is delivered by that one (all automatic, and all the peered servers
send exactly the same messages).
