MAIL BASED SERVICES
Note: The following instructions for using Almanac and listserv were excerpted from EXPLORING INTERNET: An Extension Agents' Introduction to Networking.
Mailing groups, forums, discussion groups, and listservers are special interest groups where questions or issues are sent to the group via e-mail. Members of the group discuss the topic while all members observe the dialog.
Some lists are more active than others and after subscribing to a list you may receive few or dozens of e-mail messages weekly. Mailing groups are available through Almanac. Listservers are available through Internet and BITNET.
It's recommended that if you subscribe to a group or list that you have a personal e-mail account. Remember when you reply to a question posted by a member, your message is placed in the mailbox of every member of the group.
Another type of mailing group available is a "server." Almanac servers are designed for one-way communications only. They are typically used by an author to distribute newsletters or news releases. * Do not send mail to Almanac mailing group servers.
HOW TO: Subscribe to an Almanac Mailing Group
1. Send an e-mail message to almanac@oes.orst.edu OR almanac@ecn.purdue.edu OR almanac@esusda.gov * Each site maintains a Mailing List Catalog for their location. 2. In the body of your message type the following: send mail-catalog * The Mailing List Catalog describes the mailing groups available at that site. * Items designated as "servers" are reserved for one-way communications. Subscribing to a "server" list is similar to signing up for to a newspaper or magazine subscription. As new information is published you will receive a copy in your e-mail box. * Items designated as "forums" are discussion groups or interest groups. 3. Send an e-mail message to the Almanac site where the mailing group you wish to join is located. 4. In the body of your message type the following: subscribe and the name of the group.
