Wolfeden Mailing Lists

Wolfeden.Org hosts the local Austin-928 mailing list. Due to lack of interest, Texas-928 and DFW-928 have been removed.

Discussions vary from technical how-tos to good local sources for parts and services to organizing group events. Topics of general 928 interest should be directed to the 928 mailing list at www.rennlist.com. Currently, subscription is open to anyone interested.

Majordomo

These are Majordomo mailing lists. To subscribe, please send the text subscribe austin-928 (or whichever list interests you) in the body of an email message to majordomo@wolfeden.org. Do not put your subscription request in the subject of your message as it will be ignored. Please turn off HTML in your mailer. It confuses Majordomo and is not acceptable on the mailing lists. For example, UNIX users may type the following:

    echo 'subscribe austin-928' | mail majordomo@wolfeden.org

To subscribe with a different address than you are sending from, use the command subscribe austin-928 youraddress@somewhere.com in the body of your subscription request. Majordomo will mail a confirmation message to your subscribed address with instructions on how to confirm your subscription. You may also get information about a list by sending the command info austin-928.

Command Summary

Text in angle brackets (<>) should be replaced with the approriate text. Text in brackets ([]) is optional. Do not include either brackets in the actual command. Command strings go in the body of your message. Messages should be addressed to majordomo@wolfeden.org.

List Owners

You can reach the list administrator by prepending `owner-' to the list name. E.g. `owner-austin-928' or `owner-austin-928'. Mail to this address goes to the list admin., not the list itself.

Please Note: Troubles with Unsubscribe

Some people have trouble unsubscribing themselves from mailing lists from time to time. This is almost always related to the address through which you are subscribed not being the same as the one from which you are attempting to unsubscribe. It is likely that your mail is being forwarded from an old address (or at least a different address) to the address you are currently using and thus the software is unable to corrently identify you. This is where the which and who commands become useful. Please take a moment and check to make sure of which of your addresses is subscribed before complaining to the list owner.
