Mailing Lists

• The list-managers list is for list managers of all types, especially those who manage Majordomo lists. It's at list-managers@GreatCircle.COM -- to subscribe, send "subscribe list-managers" to majordomo@greatcircle.com.

• If you manage a list with LISTSERV, join the LSTOWN-L list owners' forum at LSTOWN-L@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM. Send the command "subscribe LSTOWN-L yourname" to LISTSERV@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM

• The emaillist-managers list is ostensibly for managers of all types of lists, but ONEList topics predominate. To join, go to the ONEList Web site and subscribe to emaillist-managers.

• The ml-owners mailing list is for all list managers. Send a blank message to ml-owners-on@mail-list.com.
