- LISTSERV -- User's Guide
- -----------------------------
-
- Version 3, December 1992
-
- This version of listserv is a subset of the original one that runs under VM
- on lots of Bitnet nodes.
-
- This tool was firstly designed to act as a relay for Bitnet/Internet lists
- and as an archive-server (on a monthly basis). It's also possible to create
- locally administred lists on node HOST.FOO.BAR, but my package does
- not know of "owners" and other administrative functions. So anyone can
- subscribe and contribute to any list he wishes.
-
- Commands must be sent to <listserv@host.foo.bar> in a message without
- subject.
-
- Available verbs are:
-
- HELp * Sends this help file
- LISt * Relayed conferences
- REView list * Subscribers from a list
- SUBscribe list Your name * Register to a list
- SIGnoff list * End of subscription
-
- INDex list * Index of files for a list
- GET list file * Get a file
-
- ADD list user@host User Name * Add a User (Owner only)
- DEL list user@host * Delete a User (Owner Only)
-
- Warning: some lists are archived.
-
- Example:
-
- SUB minix-l Christophe Wolfhugel
- SIG minix-l
- REV ibmpc-l
- LIS
-
- Requests are automatically treated by software, so if you get any problem with
- it don't hesitate to drop me a message. Response time (for local senders) is
- generrally under 1mn, except on very high loads. If you don't get the answer
- fast, maybe the listserv is down...
-
- Email accounts:
-
- listman@host.foo.bar For any technical or administrative query.
- list-errors@host.foo.bar Error reports.
- listserv@host.foo.bar Requests (SUB, HELP, ...)
