How to Post Messages to the List
To send a message to all the people currently subscribed to the list, just
send mail to
spm@di.com.
This is called sending mail to the list, because you send mail to a
single address and the Majordomo software distributes copies to all the people
who have subscribed to the list.
This address is also called the list
address. You must never try to send any command to the list
address, because it would be sent to the entire list.
Posting of proprietary information on any manufacturer's product is not
permitted. Offenders will be deleted from the list. Other than that, the
usual rules of Internet conduct are expected.
When replying to messages posted to the list you should consider whether your
reply is of general interest or not. If your reply is of general
interest you should send your message to the list. If your reply is not
of general interest or of a personal nature you should send your message
to the person who originally posted the message. This will prevent the newsgroup
from being clogged with messages that say things like, "Jerry, Thanks for the
information!".
Depending on the configuration of the list server software and of your mailer the
address automatically entered as the reply-to field of your reply may either be
the list address or the address of the person who originally posted the message.
You should always check this first before you send your message.
In either case you should copy the original subject, preceded by the
characters 'Re:', to the new subject field if your mailer does not
do this for you.
