Here are a few helpful tips that may enhance your mailing list experience.
Information about your mailing lists via the web
Passwords
Obtaining human help via e-mail
Obtaining automated help via e-mail
Getting a list of members' addresses
Restrictions on commands
You can learn more about any list you participate in, by going to the web page for your list:
کد:
http://gri.gallaudet.edu/mailman/listinfo/
list Substitute the word
list (at the very end of the URL) with the mailing list you are interested in; for example
gspp or
aaps. If the list is
open, and you are not already a member, you can use this page to subscribe to the list. (
Closed lists are lists with restricted membership.)
(Ignore what the page says about list archives. I've turned that feature off, because I don't want to clutter up the server's disk space.)
For each list that you are a member of, you have a subscriber password, which most of you will never use. The passwords are automatically generated when you are subscribed to a list. They can be used to change a few things about the way in which you receive mail. (If you are on several lists, you will have several different passwords.) I don't recommend that you change anything without consulting me. However if you are curious or brave, you can have your password for a given list e-mailed to you by going to the bottom of the list information page mentioned above. Once you have your password, you can change it from the information page listed above.
Each list has one or more
list administrators who have special powers above and beyond those of mere list users. If you are having troubles with your list, you can send e-mail to:
list-admin@gri.gallaudet.
edu
Substitute your list name for the word
list above e.g.
gspp-admin@gri.gallaudet.edu or
aaps-admin@gri.gallaudet.edu. Your message will be sent to all adminsitrators of that specific list.
You can also view and manage some of your list information via commands sent through e-mail instead of using the web. To do this, send mail to:
list-request@gri.gallaudet.edu
with the word
help in the subject line. (As always, substitute your list name for the word
list above e.g.
gspp-request@gri.gallaudet.edu or
aaps-request@gri.gallaudet.edu.)
By using the word
who in the subject line of a message to
list-request@gri.gallaudet.edu, you can obtain a roster of all the members in your mailing list. (You can also get the roster from the bottom of the list information web page mentioned at the top of this article, if you know your password.)
