See the below for excellent review of talking to the server.  The
lists supported at the below address are:

  gnhlug
    General discussion, plus meeting announcements, etc.

  gnhlug-announce
    For announcements only.  Feeds into gnhlug, so don't bother
    joining both - many do, then complain of duplicate mail.

  gnhlug_post
    If you read/respond to the list from several addresses, put
    your primary address in gnhlug, and subscribe the rest here.
    Messages from addresses not listed here or in gnhlug get
    rejected (actually, sent to me for approval).  This allows
    me to control spam.

Issuing 'info gnhlug' should get you much the same information.

We support that feature.
