What is a list server?
A list server is a program designed to accept mail messages and to redistribute them to a list
of mail recipients. This way, one message may be distributed to many individuals each with their
own email address. List servers often maintain a number of different lists, each with a separate
name, purpose, distribution list, and characteristics.
In this case, the name of the Alpha Kappa Psi communication distribution list
is akp-comm and its purpose is for the general informal communication between
all members and pledges. In order to subscribe to the list, a user sends
a message to akp-comm-request@cwu.edu
( akp-alumni-request@cwu.edu
for Alumnis) leaving ALL but one line in the message body blank. The line written
in the body should be exactly as follows with the substitution of the individual's
email address for youraddress@yourdomain.com:
SUBSCRIBE AKP-COMM youraddress@yourdomain.com
SUBSCRIBE AKP-ALUMNI youraddress@yourdomain.com
NOTE: TO UNSUBSCRIBE from comm
or alumni listserve, send another email:
UNSUBSCRIBE AKP-COMM youraddress@yourdomain.com
UNSUBSCRIBE AKP-ALUMNI youraddress@yourdomain.com
Lastly, wait for a welcome message to be returned to you- this may take several
minutes. When you receive a welcome message, you are subscribed. If an error
message is returned, please send an email to bantogj@cwu.edu
describing the problem. You will then be manually
subscribed.
