[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Once your message is received at fatcity.com, it will be re-distributed to
all mailing list subscribers. You may receive replies either privately or as
replies to the list itself, depending on the choice of the person responding.
4) How to unsubscribe from the list
If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing list, you should send an E-mail
message to the mailing list server, with the following command in the message
BODY (a Subject line is not required or needed):
UNSUB ORACLE-L
Your E-mail message should be addressed to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] <-- Note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru'
NOTE: If you only want to *TEMPORARILY* stop receiving postings from this
mailing list, you may want to use the SET NOMAIL command as mentioned below.
5) Commonly used mailing list server commands
The mailing list server software in use at fatcity.com is ListGuru. ListGuru
accepts most commands from all major mailing list servers, including Listserv,
ListProc, Majordomo, MailBase and SmartList (among others). All messages to
the mailing list server MUST be addressed to only one address, however:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] <-- Note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru'
Mailing list commands must be included in the message body, not the Subject
line. Commands on the Subject line are ignored. Multiple commands can be
included in a single message. You may send as many messages as you wish.
A short description of the most commonly used commands follows. For a
complete list of all commands available, use the HELP command to obtain more
detailed information. In all commands below, <list> refers to a name of a
valid mailing list name (for example, ORACLE-L ).
Command Format What it does
-------------- ---------------------------------------------------
HELP Sends complete ListGuru command information
LISTS Sends a list of all available lists at this site
UNSUB <list> Unsubscribes the subscriber from the list
SET <list> NOMAIL Temporarily turns off messages to the subscriber
SET <list> MAIL Resumes mail flow to the subscriber
CONFIRM <list> Confirms a subscription to a particular list
WHICH Shows ALL lists that a user is subscribed to
SET <list> DIGEST Turns on DIGEST mode for a list (if available)
SET <list> NODIGEST Returns to normal (single message) mode for a list
INDEX <list> Lists all available archive files for a list
END Discontinues further command processing (useful if
you have long signature sections).
There are more than 50 commands which can be used with ListGuru. The HELP
command details all commands and their function. In addition, it specifies
which commands from other mailing list server software may be used.
Note that the two most common mistakes when using mailing list servers are
misspellings of addresses or list names, and posting mailing list server
commands to the list itself (a major no-no). When in doubt, ask for HELP.
