Please do NOT inflict mailing list requests on XPERT. The instructions for getting onto an X mailing list are attached below. Please keep in mind that things are very hectic around here and that it takes a while to get to processing all of the requests. If you have a high-priority problem and the request list is taking too long, send to postmaster@expo.lcs.mit.edu, NOT TO THE WHOLE LIST. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 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.
