Distributed by the Virtual Publishing Company.
Usually, you "subscribe" to a mailing list by sending an email message to the
indicated email address, and placing information in the subject or body of the
message indicating that you wish to subscribe to that mailing list. Once subscribed,
messages will start to distribute to you. For example, to subscribe to the cq-contest
mailing list, send an email message TO: cq-contest-request@tgv.com
and then in the body of the message, type:
SUBSCRIBE
Other email systems may require you to select which email list you wish to subscribe to.
Here's an example, using the ARRL's list service. Send email TO: listserv@netcom.com
and in the message body, write:
subscribe arrl-nediv-list
To send a message to an email list for distribution to all members, post your message to the address given below.
Some mailing lists are one-way only - this means that the list owner uses the list to distribute bulletins. For example, the ARRL sends bulletin messages to those who are subscribed to the list.
Many mailing lists are two-way. In a two-way list, you can send email to the distribution list's email "reflector". Anything sent to the email reflector is bounced back to everyone on the email list. These lists are used for open announcements and discussions.
Another type of mailing list is tied into the Usenet newsgroups. Messages placed in a news group are automatically distributed to the email distribution list (and vice versa).
Be forewarned that some email distribution lists generate a lot of email! We have seen lists that generate 100 message a day. If you subscribe to a few of these, you will never have time to get anything else done in life as you become inundated with email.
