ECOGROUP-L Listserv

We have established an email listserv for our group to allow easy and rapid communication about topics of interest to the group. Instructions on joining, leaving and sending messages are described below. Please address questions to the listowner: Sedonia Sipes ssipes@plant.siu.edu.

How a Subscriber Joins and Leaves ECOGROUP-L:

Subscription is set open, which allows anyone to self-subscribe to our list.

To subscribe to the list, send email to:

LISTSERV@SIU.EDU

The subject line can be ignored when communicating with LISTSERV. 
The text of the email should contain the following command:

SUB ECOGROUP-L firstname lastname

For example:

To: listserv@siu.edu
From: John Doe <johndoe@siu.edu>
Subj:
--------------------------------
SUB ECOGROUP-L John Doe

After sending the above note, the person subscribing will receive a subscription confirmation and will be added to the list.

If you wish to leave the list later, send another email to LISTSERV@SIU.EDU and send the command:

UNSUB ECOGROUP-L

You will receive a removal confirmation and will be unsubscribed from the list.

Sending Email to the List:

Before communicating to the list, everyone, including the list owner, must be subscribed to the list. List discussion is then achieved by sending email to the list's email address. 

For example:
ECOGROUP-L@SIU.EDU

The email should have a proper subject and contain text appropriate for the list. 
For example:

To: ecogroup-l@siu.edu
From: John Doe <johndoe@siu.edu>
Subj: First Posting
--------------------------------
This is my first posting to the list.

Good luck!
