It is being served by an automated mailing list manager that responds to commands emailed to the "Majordomo address" listed above. This message has all the details of how to manage your list remotely using Majordomo. If you have any questions, refer them to the Majordomo-Owner address listed above. There's a lot of info here, so please read this completely and carefully, and save it for future reference. If you have any questions, you should send them to the Majordomo-Owner address above. Your list-owner password is shown above. Keep track of this; you'll need it later. Instructions for changing your password are below. As soon as possible, please issue a "newinfo" command for your list (see below) to create the file that someone will receive when they join or ask about your list. You can issue a "who" command for your list to see who's already on your list. You may or may not already be subscribed to your own list. ================ The Gory Details ================ Your mailing list is managed by an automated mailing list management program called Majordomo. Majordomo should free you from dealing with most of the administrivia usually associated with running mailing lists (adding users, dropping users, etc.). To submit something to your list, you (or anybody else) should simply mail it to the list posting address shown at the top of this file. If somebody sends something to list request address shown above (which is the traditional Internet way of being added to a mailing list), they'll get back a message telling them how to use Majordomo for routine requests, and how to contact you if they need to speak to a human being. To be added to your list, a user simply sends a message with an empty "Subject:" line and with the following line in the body of the message: subscribe ndt by email to majordomo@anl.gov. The mail message to subscribe to the ndt mailing list would be: To: majordomo@anl.gov subscribe ndt or: To: majordomo@anl.gov Subject: subscribe ndt where each of the above lines starts in column 1 and there is no "Subject:" line or the "Subject:" line is empty. Majordomo understands several commands, and is not limited to a single command per message (it will process commands until reaching end-of-message or the command "end"). The command "help" will tell you about all the other commands. Actually, it won't tell you about _all_ the other commands that Majordomo understands. There are several commands there for use by list owners such as yourself, which are not advertised to the public. All of these commands are password-protected on a list-by-list basis, but anyone with a valid list/password combination can invoke these commands. This is not exactly high-tech security, but it's more intended to keep annoyance to a minimum than to be foolproof. The "documented" commands which Majordomo understands and which are for everyone to use are: subscribe ndt [
] unsubscribe ndt [
] which [
] who ndt info ndt index ndt get ndt lists help end
