From: IN%"Majordomo@GreatCircle.COM" 4-AUG-1996 00:00:26.72 To: IN%"EALLENSMITH@mbcl.rutgers.edu" CC: Subj: Welcome to list-managers Welcome to the list-managers mailing list! Please save this message for future reference. Thank you. If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to <Majordomo@GreatCircle.COM> with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe list-managers EALLENSMITH@mbcl.rutgers.edu Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: Description =========== This list is for discussions of issues related to managing Internet mailing lists, including (but not limited to) methods, mechanisms, techniques, policies, and software (in general; questions about specific software packages should be directed to the mailing list dedicated to that particular package). Technical questions regarding particular software packages (for instance, Majordomo, LISTPROC, ListServ, etc.) are NOT appropriate for the List-Managers mailing list. They should be directed to the mailing list dedicated to that particular package (for instance, for Majordomo, that's Majordomo-Users@GreatCircle.COM). Check the documentation that came with the package to find out where the support list for that package is hosted. This list is an outgrowth of the "Mailing Lists" workshop session at the USENIX System Administration Conference (LISA VI) in Long Beach, CA, on October 22, 1992. This is the undigestified version of the list. All messages sent to this list are immediately forwarded to members of the list. The digestified version of the list is List-Managers-Digest@GreatCircle.COM. Policies ======== You can subscribe a local redistribution list or a gateway to a local newsgroup, as long as whatever you do is local to your site. This restriction makes it much easier for me to track down mailer problems. I'm very aggressive when it comes to bounced email. If email to you starts bouncing, I'll probably drop you from the list fairly quickly; you'll have to resubscribe when you get the problem fixed, and retrieve the archives to find out what you missed. Archives ======== All messages to the list are archived. The archives are available via Majordomo using the "get" command (send "help" in the body of a message to "Majordomo@GreatCircle.COM" for more info), or via anonymous FTP from host FTP.GreatCircle.COM in directory "pub/list-managers/archive". The archives are broken down by year and month, and are stored in files named "list-managers.YYMM". The copy of the archive available by anonymous FTP is updated every night at 2am local time (0900 GMT in the summer, 1000 GMT in the winter). For further information, contact: Michael C. Berch Postmaster and list manager, Great Circle Associates mcb@greatcircle.com
