As usual, an explanation about listservers in general before I list the lists.
Read this before trying anything.
How to use this list
====================
There are basically three ways in which you could subscribe using email to
a mailing list or digest: through a "listserv/listserver/listproc" address,
through a "majordomo / PMDF Mailserv" address, or through a manual address.
With each mailing list, however, only ONE of these will work correctly. Each
list given below has a code next to it which tells you which one will work.
Listservers, Majordomo & PMDF Mailserv
--------------------------------------
To subscribe to a list, DON'T send mail to the listname@yyy address that you
wish to subscribe to. Instead, send mail to xxx@yyy, where you have substituted
the name for the type of server according to the code next to the list. For
example, if we use the AD&D list below:
You need to use the listname@yyy address only later, once you have subscribed.
If you have never used a listserver before, send a message with a blank subject
line and with the message body saying just "HELP" (without the quotes) to the
server. It will send you back a HELP message.
Subscribing
===========
Listservers
-----------
If you were interested in joining the spelljammer list, you would send mail
to listserv@le.ac.uk, with a blank subject line and the main message body saying,
for example,
(without the quotes). You would then wait for confirmation from the listserver
and then you would be subscribed to the SpellJammer discussion list.
Majordomo / PMDF MailServ
-------------------------
As for listservers, but you put your email address in the SUBSCRIBE message
and not a personal name, for example:
(without the quotes). You would then wait for confirmation as above.
Manual addresses
----------------
Manual lists come in four types below:
1) Send email to "listname-request@yyy" with a message as for listservers
2) Send email to "listname-request@yyy" with a personal message to a user
4) Send email to the user's account, but the list is at another address.
More Info from automatic lists
==============================
There are two ways for finding more information on an automatic list depending
on the type of mailing-list software running. For 'listserv' lists try sending
a "REVIEW listname" message (without the quotes) replacing listname with the
list you are requesting info on. For 'majordomo', 'listproc' or 'listserver'
type lists, try sending an "INFO listname" command in the same way as the REVIEW
command.
Lists
=====
Each type of list is indicated by a one to three letter code in brackets after
the list name. These correspond to:
li = listserv
ls = listserver/listserv
lp = listproc/listprocessor
m = majordomo
pm = PMDF Mailserv
rq = NOT necessarily an automatic list. These may be answered personally,
use xxx-request@yyy (subscription address) & xxx@yyy (list address).
rqs = Simple Perl Mailer - uses "SUBSCRIBE", "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the SUBJECT field
of the message and so is different to all the others. Send "HELP" as the mail
Subject field for more info. Use xxx-request@yyy (subscription address) & xxx@yyy
(list address).
ps = NOT an automatic list. These ARE answered personally. There are two forms,
either the list is run from the person's account (one address listed below)
OR the mailing list has one address and you must use the second address given
for a personal subscription message.
