Subscribing to CSGnet (Was Re: team@forsselltrans.com)

ALICE McElhone

iF WE’RE VOTING, WHY CHANGE?

I’ll resend. Just changed my subscriber options to
“standard (direct reception)” from “not receiving
your own posts” which appears to be the default. This way this
(resent) post will be included in the archive.

Alice, I meant to follow Matti’s suggestion for how to set my CSGnet mail
from the server to Digests. For that email address. Should have put it in
the subject line, though.
I have long had two subscriptions, one for Digests
(team@forsselltrans.com) and one for individual messages
(csgarchive@pctresources.com).
That way I generate two archives, one where I occasionally delete a post
that is mistaken, duplicate or totally irrelevant as when we were
spammed. Digests are complete, with attachments in MIME format in the
body of the digest. After all these years, I am beginning to think that
the digests are of little interest.
Note that mail from the server now comes from
csgnet@lists.illinois.edu.
So I just went to lists.illinois.edu, received a warning but
proceeded.
I searched for CSGnet and found it: 1 occurrence(s) found
Click on csgnet@lists.illinois.edu and you get to

https://lists.illinois.edu/lists/info/csgnet
, where you get info and
options, such as Subscribe.

So subscribing is easy indeed.

I have notes about my password, but the server insisted that I set a new
one. I took the opportunity to change the team@forsselltrans.com address
to another that will not get mixed up with our translation mailboxes any
more.

I happen to be one of the (five?) owners from way, way back. Once I have
logged in, I have options to administer CSGnet. I have toyed with the
idea of sending individual test messages (from a personal email account)
to all subscribers in order to determine how many subscribers have
non-existent addresses or such. Invalid addresses would bounce back to me
with error messages. There are about 20 who have set “no mail”.
These are likely long gone.

I agree with Matti’s arguments in favor of staying with the current
server.

Hope this is helpful. Golden wedding anniversary party now history. We
had guests here for two weeks. See

Best to all,

Dag

Dag,

How did you do that? I followed the link and searched around, but I

couldn’t find anything like subscriber options. I did find a link
that would allow me to subscribe, but when I tried that it just gave
me a field for my e-mail address, and since I am already subscribed,
I didn’t want to screw things up by double-subscribing. Should I
have done it?

Follow-up…That message did appear for me as a csgnet message, so
I guess the option must have been reset by Gary. Thanks, Gary, if
you did.

Hearty congratulations to you and Christine on your 50th ! I can’t believe the lucky couple looks even better now than half a century ago. I’m sure
living a stress-free life is the key. J
