4)GATE SERVICES INCLUDING MAILING LISTS AND THE MAIL SERVER
[From our esteemed Gateop, Stephen Griffin.]
[last updated November 30, 1996]
Mailing-lists:
FILK-D Contents of the FILK echo and rec.music.filk newsgroup in
digest form (one message for a whole day's worth of traffick)
BAWDY The Bawdy filk mailing-list for the songs which aren't
appropriate for use in FILK or rec.music.filk
NOTE: the Filk echo, rec.music.filk newsgroup, and FILK-D digest are
all the SAME. You need only pick up one of them. Note -
alt.music.filk is still out there, but has been superceded by
rec.music.filk for the purposes of this faq.
Note 2: The FILK mailing list is no longer operative as it was
becoming unwieldy. The digest contains the same material.
How to subscribe:
send a message to list...@bdragon.shore.net
this is an interactive listserver which you send commands to (one per
line)
the command to subscribe is:
SUBSCRIBE listname
(eg. SUBSCRIBE BAWDY or SUBSCRIBE FILK-D)
the command to unsubscribe is:
UNSUBSCRIBE listname
You may get a list of other commands by sending the command HELP to
the listserver.
You will receive a request for confirmation before the list is turned
on.
[Note - the -r addresses referred to in previous faqs are no longer in
