Amateur Radio Mailing Lists 7/1/94 VE3SUN
---------------------------
Mailing lists are used to disseminate information about a common topic of
interest to a list of subscribers by email. There are two kinds of mailing
list: reflectors, which simply reflect message from one subscriber to all
of the other subscribers on the list; and distribution lists, which
disseminate information from a single source to all of the subscribers on
the list.
To participate in the traffic on these lists, you need to be able to
receive email from the Internet, either directly, or through a gateway. In
general, all of the lists operate in the same way. There is an address used
for list maintenance commands, and another address used for the
dissemination of messages, which is shown below as the reflector address.
It is important that list commands (the most common commands are SUBSCRIBE
and UNSUBSCRIBE) not be sent to the reflector address, for two reasons. The
first reason is that sending the message to the reflector will not
accomplish anything. The command must be sent to the right address to take
effect. The second reason is that many subscribers to the list pay for each
message they receive, and seeing a message that says SUBSCRIBE or
UNSUBSCRIBE joe@blow.com, for which they have just paid a quarter, is not
likely to make their day.
If you are interested in joining one of the mailing lists below, the first
thing you should do is send a message to the Subscribe address containing
the word HELP on the first line. Within a few minutes, or perhaps a few
hours in some cases, you will receive back a full description of the list's
purpose and a set of commands that can be used to subscribe, unsubscribe,
or get other information out of the list server.
There are many different flavors of list server software, and each has its
own command structure. For reference, the subscribe command is shown in the
list below. However, it is not unknown for the list manager to change
software from time to time and the commands will change when this happens.
In the list below, substitute YOUR email address for <user@site> and
substitute your name for <name>.
For example, to subscribe to the Contest forum, send a
message to CQ-Contest-Request@tgv.com with the word SUBSCRIBE
in the body of the message. To send a message to all of the other
subscribers, send the message to CQ-Contest@tgv.com.
Please send any additions to this list to peterj@netcom.com.
