Vacations
---------
If you are temporarily at a different address, just forward all messages
that have the correct 'Mailing-List:' header (or all that have subjects
starting with 'MODERATE for
sigmachialumni@whitman.edu' or 'CONFIRM
subscribe to
sigmachialumni@whitman.edu') to the new address. You can then
moderate from the new address. Alternatively, you can forward the messages
to a friend so that s/he can moderate for you. Please OK this with the list
owner first.
If you would like to automatically approve all requests while you are gone,
set up you mail client to auto-reply to messages that have subjects meeting
the above criteria.
If you try to do remote administration from an address that is not your own,
the subscriber, not you, will be asked to confirm. After that, a moderator
confirm request is sent to all moderators. I'm doing this because I have no
way of knowing that it is you that sent the original request.
Please note that your original request (and your address) are sent to the
subscriber in this case!
Good luck!
PS: Please contact the list owner (
sigmachialumni-owner@whitman.edu) if you
have any questions or problems.
--- Administrative commands for the sigmachialumni list ---
I can handle administrative requests automatically. Please
do not send them to the list address! Instead, send
your message to the correct command address:
To subscribe to the list, send a message to:
<
sigmachialumni-subscribe@whitman.edu>
To remove your address from the list, send a message to:
<
sigmachialumni-unsubscribe@whitman.edu>
Send mail to the following for info and FAQ for this list:
<
sigmachialumni-info@whitman.edu>
<
sigmachialumni-faq@whitman.edu>
To get an index with subject and author for messages 123-456 , mail:
<
sigmachialumni-index.123_456@whitman.edu>
They are always returned as sets of 100, max 2000 per request, so you'll
actually get 100-499.
The messages do not really need to be empty, but I will ignore their
content. Only the ADDRESS you send to is important.
You can start a subscription for an alternate address,
for example "
john@host.domain", just add a hyphen and your address (with '='
instead of '@') after the command word:
<sigmachialumni-subscribe-john
=
host.domain@whitman.edu>
To stop subscription for this address, mail:
<sigmachialumni-unsubscribe
-john=
host.domain@whitman.edu>
In both cases, I'll send a confirmation message to that address. When you
receive it, simply reply to it to complete your subscription.
If despite following these instructions, you do not get the desired results,
please contact my owner at
sigmachialumni-owner@whitman.edu. Please be
patient, my owner is a lot slower than I am ;-)
