Posting

To post to this list, send your email to:

blakes7@lysator.liu.se.

The list is still closed, so that only subscribers can post. In order to have second address you can post from (work, your parents' house, whatever), subscribe the new address and then set the "Don't deliver mail" option for it.

Subscribing and Controlling

Using the Web interface

http://lists.lysator.liu.se/mailman/listinfo/blakes7.

It is strongly recomended that you use the web interface, if you can. As this has from experience been easily to use.

In particular, you can use the Web site to have your password sent to your delivery address.

Using the email interface

This is the text of email command help for the "Mailman" list manager. The following describes commands you can send to get information about and control your subscription to Mailman lists at this site. A command can be in the subject line or in the body of the message.

List specific commands (subscribe, who, etc) should be sent to the *-request address, e.g. for the 'blakes7' list, use ' blakes7-request@lisator.liu.se'.

About the descriptions - words in "<>"s signify REQUIRED items and words in "[]" denote OPTIONAL items. Do not include the "<>"s or "[]"s when you use the commands.

The following commands are valid:

subscribe [password] [digest-option] [address=<address>]

Subscribe to the mailing list. Your password must be given to unsubscribe or change your options. When you subscribe to the list, you'll be reminded of your password periodically. 'digest-option' may be either: 'nodigest' or 'digest' (no quotes!) If you wish to subscribe an address other than the address you send this request from, you may specify "address=<email address>" (no brackets around the email address, no quotes!)

Assuming you password is Servalan and your email address is Avon@blakes-7.com then to subscribe to the ordinary (non digest) list then email to blakes7-request@lisator.liu.se with the message containing:

subscribe Servalan address=Avon@blakes-7.com

If you want the digest list use:

subscribe Servalan digest address=Avon@blakes-7.com

unsubscribe <password> [address]

Unsubscribe from the mailing list. Your password must match the one you gave when you subscribed. If you are trying to unsubscribe from a different address than the one you subscribed from, you may specify it in the 'address' field. To unsubscribe using the example above, email to blakes7-request@lisator.liu.se with the message containing:

unsubscribe Servalan address=Avon@blakes-7.com
