Electronic Mailing Lists
                           ========================
 
WUNET.WUSTL.EDU is the electronic mail list server for users of the PAL.
A separate computer from WUARCHIVE.WUSTL.EDU (on which the PAL is
located), WUNET's purpose in life from the point of view of the PAL user
is to manage the electronic mailing lists supporting him.
 
The List Server is a program on WUNET which manages Lists (Electronic
Mailing Lists).  The user can send commands to the List Server, and it
will respond by performing actions for him (such as adding him to a
List, removing him from a List, and sending him a message naming all the
lists supported by the List Server).  The user can send email messages
to the List, and the subscribers to the List will receive these
messages.
 
To find out what commands the List Server can respond to, send an email
message to
 
  listserv@wunet.wustl.edu
 
which contains an empty subject line and one line in the body of the
message (starting in the first column):
 
  help
 
If you wish to subscribe to an electronic mailing list, send an
electronic mail message to:
 
  listserv@wunet.wustl.edu
 
Leave the subject line blank and place the following line into the body
of this message:
 
  subscribe <electronic mailing list name>
 
Example:
  subscribe pal-announce
 
Begin this line in column 1.  Your return address will be used as the
address to which announcements will be sent.  A list of the electronic
mailing lists for the PAL user community is included below.
 
You will receive a message back from the listserv software, telling you
of the success or failure of your request.
 
Once subscribed, a user can send electronic mail to all subscribers of a
List by sending email to the list's name at wunet.wustl.edu; example:

  ada-train@wunet.wustl.edu
 
This, of course, only works if the List is bidirectional.  The ANNOUNCE
Lists are unidirectional (read-only from the point of view of the
subscribers).  Subscribers cannot post email messages to the ANNOUNCE
lists - only the moderator of the ANNOUNCE lists can post messages.
 
The following lists are for the PAL user community.  For a more complete
list of the mailing lists available to your site, send a mail message to
listserv@wunet.wustl.edu which contains the command "DIR/LISTS".
