FYI Implements Listserver for Email List

MAR 17, 1994

Audrey Leath

AIP has implemented a Listserver, an automatic tool to manage the electronic mailing list for FYI. From now on, individuals will be able to add, and delete, their own email addresses from the distribution list.

Please follow the instructions below to add or delete yourself, and pass them along to colleagues who might also wish to receive FYI.

PLEASE NOTE: If you received this message, you are already on the listserver’s FYI mailing list and do NOT need to add yourself!

Your email message should be sent to listserv@aip.org Leave the “Subject:" line blank.

As the body of the message, the following commands should be used:

add fyi	The listserver will read the email
	address to be added from your message
	header. The command “subscribe” may
	also be used in place of “add.”

add <email address> fyi	If you want to add an address for
	someone else, or an address other
	than the one you are using to send
	the message, you may use this three-
	step command.

delete fyi	The listserver will read the email
	address to be deleted from your
	message header. The command
	“unsubscribe” may also be used in
	place of “delete.”

NOTE: To protect against unauthorized deletions, the listserver DOES NOT allow you to delete any address other than the one in the header of your message. To have a different address deleted (for example, if you have moved and your previous account has been closed down), please send a note to fyi-listserv-manager@aip.org , and we will take care of it for you.

help	If you do not have the instructions
	handy, type this command and the
	listserver will respond with
	instructions.

faq fyi	This command will respond with brief
	information about FYI.
