xserial-request@expo.lcs.mit.edu (02/25/88)
The XSERIAL mailing list (for discussing X servers that use serial lines as their primary communications channel) has been moved from wyse.com to the MIT X Consortium server machine EXPO. The old address will forward for a while until people get used to the new address. As with all lists originating from EXPO, you can join XSERIAL by creating a local redistribution alias and sending a message to xserial-request@expo.lcs.mit.edu with the format described at the bottom of this message. Individual subscriptions are discouraged so that only one copy of a given message need be sent to any organization (i.e. university, entire company, etc.). Jim Fulton MIT X Consortium (617) 253-1428 lists-request@expo.lcs.mit.edu ---------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe to an X mailing list, please do the following: 1. Ask around your organization to see if there is already a local redistribution. If there is, all you have to do is get on the list locally. 2. If there isn't a local redistribution for the list, set one up and send mail to the appropriate topic-request list with the internet domain style address for your redistribution. The goal: to send just one copy of each piece of mail to a given company or university. 3. Mail sent to a topic-request address should have the first word of the subject line be TOPIC, in caps, so that it can be distinguished. For example, mail sent to xserial-request should have XSERIAL be the first word, and mail sent to lists-request should have LISTS be the first word. Make sure that the return address to be used is EXPLICITLY given in the body of the message. For example, % mail xserial-request@expo.lcs.mit.edu Subject: XSERIAL addition request Please add the following address to the xserial mailing list for the International Widget Company: xserial-local%mumble.widget.com@relay.cs.net ^D Case does not matter in mailing list names, although they are stored in lowercase to make sorting and generating catalogues easier. UUCP sites that don't have registered domains should give a path relative to some Internet host (the default will be eddie.mit.edu since it can handle host!user@eddie.mit.edu or user%host.uucp@eddie.mit.edu).
