Well, my world will. I'd very much like to see EVERYONE who wants to participate be able. I'm not quite sure where you got the idea that the list was "closed". You do need to be a subscriber to post, but it is a public list and anyone can subscribe. To subscribe, send mail to listmom-talk@skyweyr.com with subject "subscribe". I'm attaching the help file as well, which you should have gotten when your message was rejected. <cut here> The ListMom-Talk discussion list is intended to serve as a resource for individuals who operate listservers on all platforms. List ediquette, comparisons of listserver software, problems with members of a list, and listserver configuration are all appropriate topics. If you're new to the list, consider sending a message to introduce yourself! This list is rated PG-13. LISTMOM DISCUSSION LIST HELP FILE Please read the list guidelines (see below) before engaging in discussion. In addition, familiarize yourself with how the list operates, especially if you've never participated in an Internet email discussion group before. It's a good idea to save this message somewhere so you know how to unsubscribe. When dealing with a listserver, there are two types of messages, namely, COMMANDS and POSTS. Unlike traditional listservers which require the use of numerous email addresses, we have simplified the process by allowing for both both COMMANDS and POSTS to be sent to the same address. COMMANDS These e-mail messages are intended to cause some action to occur, such as subscribing the FROM address to a mailing list. Commands are usually one or two word phrases which should be entered in the SUBJECT field of the message. Any other fields are ignored... it doesn't matter what you put in them. The following commands are accepted: subscribe adds your e-mail address to the list of subscribers you will then receive all posts you are then allowed to post from that address unsubscribe removes your e-mail address from the list of subscribers you will no longer receive any posts you are no longer allowed to post subscribe digest switches you to digest mode you will then receive one message per day which lists all posts to switch back, send a "subscribe" command digests returns a list of digests for the past 30 days along with instructions for retreiving them via e-mail help this message will be returned POSTS Email messages which don't match any commands are distributed to everyone on the list. Every time you post a message, hundreds of other people on the list receive a copy, just as if you sent it to them personally. As a member of the list, you will receive a copy of every message anyone else sends. On this list, only members of the list can post to it. WEB PAGE You can use our simplified web interface to perform all of these commands and more.
