Hi Blinuxers, our mailing lists blinux-announce, blinux-develop and blinux-list now are distributed by an advanced list server (called "mailman") which allows you to chose additional options like * digests in plain text or MIME format * stop mail delivery. Useful if you plan on taking a vacation. * Chose whether you will get a copy of your post to the list. * password protected options and subscription/unsubscription. * get/setup your password needed to unsubscribe or change options. There are two ways how you can modify your list settings or subscribe/unsubscribe: First way: You can change your list settings or subscription/unsubscription using a web browser and visiting the list web page at https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-announce/ https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-develop/ https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list/ Your browser has to support the secure HTTPS protocol to access above web pages. Second way: You can use the email interface to do all subscription/unsubscription and setting changes. This is done by sending email to the -request address of the mailing list and using special commands in the subject line. You get the request email address by simply adding a -request to the normal mailing list address. As example blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx has the request address blinux-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxx When using the email interface, first thing you will do is getting your preset password. This will enable you to change options later. Get your password by sending email to blinux-announce-request@xxxxxxxxxx or blinux-develop-request@xxxxxxxxxx or blinux-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx with subject line: password. After you got your default password by email, you now can change your password by sending email to the -request address blinux-announce-request@xxxxxxxxxx, blinux-develop-request@xxxxxxxxxx or blinux-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx with subject: password your_old_password your_new_password. To get a help file by email which shows you all your settable options send email to the list request-address with subject: help. Should you have any questions about that new list setup always feel free to ask. My email address is hzo@xxxxxxx Enjoy! Hans (maintainer blinux-lists)
