I. TO POST A MESSAGE TO THE SOUTH COUNTY WATERSHEDS DISCUSSION LIST

To post a message to the SCWP Discussion Group, simply address your message

to scwp@lori.state.ri.us. At this time, I am 95% sure that the list serve

will not handle attachments. Therefore, be sure to put any attached info

in the body of the message. Thanks.

II. SUBSCRIBING TO A LIST

Send a message to Majordomo@lori.state.ri.us

To receive list mail at the address from which you're sending your mail,

simply say "subscribe" followed by the list's name

subscribe scwp

If for some reason you wish to have the mailings go to a different address

(a friend's address, a specific other system on which you have an account,

or an address which is more correct than the one that automatically appears

in the "From" header on the mail you send), you would add that address to

the command. For instance, if you're sending a request from your work

account, but wish to receive "scwp" mail at your personal account

(for which we will use "jqpublic@my-isp.com" as an example), you'd put

the line

subscribe scwp jqpublic@my-isp.com

in the mail message body.

Based on configuration decisions made by the list owners, you may be added

to the mailing list automatically. You may also receive notification

that an authorization key is required for subscription. Another message

will be sent to the address to be subscribed (which may or may not be the

same as yours) containing the key, and directing the user to send a

command found in that message back to Majordomo@lori.state.ri.us. (This

can be

a bit of extra hassle, but it helps keep you from being swamped in extra

email by someone who forged requests from your address.) You may also

get a message that your subscription is being forwarded to the list owner

for approval; some lists have waiting lists, or policies about who may

subscribe. If your request is forwarded for approval, the list owner

should contact you soon after your request.

Upon subscribing, you should receive an introductory message, containing

list policies and features. Save this message for future reference; it

will also contain exact directions for unsubscribing. If you lose the

intro mail and would like another copy of the policies, send this message

to Majordomo@lori.state.ri.us

intro scwp

(substituting, of course, the real name of your list for "demo-list").

III. UNSUBSCRIBING FROM MAILING LISTS

Your original intro message contains the exact command which should be

used to remove your address from the list. However, in most cases, you

may simply send the command "unsubscribe" followed by the list name

unsubscribe scwp
