0. Power failures
=================
On Passover, power failures are expected in the Givat Ram campus,
so this list will be down part of the time.
1. Mailing list setup
=====================
*** a. Subscribe confirmations
Yes. You will have to send confirmation messages when
subscribing or unsubscribing.
*** b. Closed posting
You will need to be subscribed to the list in order to post. The
"From:" header is what is checked. I don't see any good reason
to set up the list any other way. If anybody does, tell me.
*** c. Digests
Several digest schemes were proposed:
(i) Issue the digest daily.
(ii) Issue the digest daily, unless it grows more than
100 (?) KB, in which case issue immediately.
If nobody objects, I will chose the option (i). Time and size
may be changed.
1. Subscription, etc. instructions
==================================
These instructions will be valid only when I move this list to
Listar, which will be announced separately.
All the "control" messages must be sent to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (I think that Jonathan Ben-Avraham
will set up the address [EMAIL PROTECTED] as an
alias). The commands must appear on the body of the message,
terminated either by the word "end" or by "-- " (the signature
delimeter). Or by the end-of-message, of course. Alternatively,
if you send only one command, it may appear in the subject of the
message, in which case the body won't be checked for commands.
I (the list owner) will be reachable by e-mail at:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
(and maybe, [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
*** Get help
The best way to get help is to send the following commands in one
message:
help
commands
flags
end
*** Subscribe
Either:
subscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED]
or:
add [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The e-mail address is optional.
*** Unsubscribe
Either:
unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED]
or:
remove [EMAIL PROTECTED]
or:
del [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The e-mail address is optional.
*** Get digested version of the list
set DIGEST
*** Get both digested and normal versions of the list
set DIGEST2
*** Stop digests, only get the normal version
unset DIGEST
or:
unset DIGEST2
depending on what you did.
*** Don't get the copies of your own posts
unset ECHOPOST
*** Get "ACK" (message for the list successfully received)
set ACKPOST
*** Don't get mail
set VACATION
unset VACATION
The VACATION flags means that the user must not receive mail from
the list, until the flag is unset.
*** The end
Vadik.
