Bill Drummond ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dalia, Keith A - TOS-DITT1" <kadalia@BPA.GOV> To: <RRGA-L@LIST.RTOWEST.ORG> Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2001 5:39 PM > You have been added to the RRGA-L mailing list (RTO West Congestion Model > Content Group) by Keith Dalia <kadalia@BPA.GOV>. > > Please save this message for future reference, especially if this is the > first time you subscribe to an electronic mailing list.

You should also save the "welcome > messages" from the list owners that you will occasionally receive after > subscribing to a new list. > > To send a message to all the people currently subscribed to the list, > just send mail to RRGA-L@LIST.RTOWEST.ORG. This is called "sending mail > to the list", because you send mail to a single address and LISTSERV > makes copies for all the people who have subscribed. This address > (RRGA-L@LIST.RTOWEST.ORG) is also called the "list address". You must > never try to send any command to that address, as it would be distributed > to all the people who have subscribed. All commands must be sent to the > "LISTSERV address", LISTSERV@LIST.RTOWEST.ORG. It is very > important to understand the difference between the two, but fortunately > it is not complicated. The LISTSERV address is like a FAX number that > connects you to a machine, whereas the list address is like a normal > voice line connecting you to a person.

If on the other hand you accidentally make your FAX > call someone's voice line, the person receiving the call will be > inconvenienced, especially if your FAX then re-dials every 5 minutes. The > fact that most people will eventually connect the FAX machine to the > voice line to allow the FAX to go through and make the calls stop does > not mean that you should continue to send FAXes to the voice number. > People would just get mad at you. It works pretty much the same way with > mailing lists, with the difference that you are calling hundreds or > thousands of people at the same time, and consequently you can expect a > lot of people to get upset if you consistently send commands to the list > address. > > You may leave the list at any time by sending a "SIGNOFF RRGA-L" command > to LISTSERV@LIST.RTOWEST.ORG. You can also tell LISTSERV how you > want it to confirm the receipt of messages you send to the list. If you > do not trust the system, send a "SET RRGA-L REPRO" command and LISTSERV > will send you a copy of your own messages, so that you can see that the > message was distributed and did not get damaged on the way. After a while > you may find that this is getting annoying, especially if your mail > program does not tell you that the message is from you when it informs > you that new mail has arrived from RRGA-L. If you send a "SET RRGA-L ACK > NOREPRO" command, LISTSERV will mail you a short acknowledgement instead, > which will look different in your mailbox directory. With most mail > programs you will know immediately that this is an acknowledgement you > can read later. Finally, you can turn off acknowledgements completely > with "SET RRGA-L NOACK NOREPRO". > > Following instructions from the list owner, your subscription options > have been set to "NOFILES REPRO" rather than the usual LISTSERV defaults. > For more information about subscription options, send a "QUERY RRGA-L" > command to LISTSERV@LIST.RTOWEST.ORG. > > Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived.
