Subscribing to DIRCRED-L
To subscribe to DIRCRED-L, send a one-line e-mail that reads:
|
subscribe DIRCRED-L {Your First Name} {Your Last
Name}
|
Where {Your First Name} and {Your Last Name} refer to your
real name (not your login name). Note that there is no reason to include
a subject or your e-mail address. As an example, if Jane Doe wanted to
subscribe to DIRCRED-L, she would send the following message:
|
subscribe DIRCRED-L Jane Doe
|
Send the message to:
|
listserv@listserv.uiuc.edu |
Do NOT send the message to DIRCRED-L
NOTE: Your message to LISTSERV should not include a "signature"
if at all possible. The computer will try to interpret the lines of your
signature as commands.
You should receive a note confirming your subscription within a few minutes
(although sometimes it can take and hour or two).
Feel free to contact the list administrator if you need more information
or have problems getting signed off at:

Sending Mail to DIRCRED-L

email message as usual and send it to the list discussion address:
|
dircred-l@listserv.uiuc.edu |
Setting Mail Options for DIRCRED-L
There are three different mail options for the DIRCRED-L listserv:
- Mail. Messages arrive in your mail box one at a time as they
are posted to the news group. This is the setting you are AUTOMATICALLY
given when you subscribe. It is very easy to respond directly to messages
received, but some people find that so many separate messages can clutter
up their mail box.
- Nomail. You remain subscribed to DIRCRED-L, but new messages
will not be sent to you. This is a good way to keep your mail box from
filling up if you will be on vacation or away from your e-mail account
for an extended period.
- Digest. You will receive only ONE message per day from DIRCRED-L which includes ALL of the day's postings collected together. Digests are nice if you don't like wading through lots of separate messages, but it's harder to reply to any one specific posting.
To change your mail settings for DIRCRED-L, send an e-mail message to:
|
listserv@listserv.uiuc.edu |
Do NOT send any mail setting changes to DIRCRED-L
To temporarily STOP mail from being delivered, send the following command:
|
set DIRCRED-L nomail
|
To start receiving mail in DIGEST form, send the following command:
|
set DIRCRED-L digest
|
To UNDO either of the previous commands, send the following message:
|
set DIRCRED-L mail
|
Setting Message Acknowledgements and Reproductions
The Acknowledgement setting tells the Listserv computer whether or not to send you an acknowledgement whenever you send a message to the list. The setting options are ACK and NOACK. For instance, if you send a message with subject line "General Information", you can automatically get a message back from the Listserv computer that is something like:
Your message dated XXX with subject "General Information" was successfully distributed to the XXX list.
The Reproduction setting tells the Listserv computer whether or not you want to see your own message posted to the list. The setting options are REPRO and NOREPRO.
To change your acknowledgement and reproduction settings for DIRCRED-L, send an e-mail message to:
|
listserv@listserv.uiuc.edu |
Do NOT send acknowledgement or reproduction setting changes to DIRCRED-L
To receive an automatic acknowledgement from the Listserv computer whenever you post a message to the list, send the command:
|
set DIRCRED-L ack
|
If you do not want to receive an acknowledgement, send the message:
|
set DIRCRED-L noack
|
If you want to see your own message posted to the list, send the message:
|
set DIRCRED-L repro
|
If you do not want to see your own message posted to the list, send the message:
|
set DIRCRED-L norepro
|
It is a good idea to set one of these options "on" (i.e., ACK or REPRO) so that you can know that your own posting has been received by the list. There are default settings for these options for each Listserv list. Each list may have different default settings.
