GEN: Delays-- Signoff, Resubscribe, Signoff, Resubscribe,

[Peter Milbury <pmilbury@ERICIR.SYR.EDU>]

Dear Colleagues,

Some LM_NETers tend to sign on and off frequently, resubscribing when they
need to post an urgent request or question. Due to our new "Signatures
Required" policy, ALL resubscribers and new members are set to a "Review"
process. This process is one of the measures we take to filter UCE
(unsolicited commercial e-mail). Thus, delays of up to 24 hours may be
experienced by new and resubscribing members before their messages are
posted (end even longer of their messages are returned to them for the
addition of a signature.)

A solution for this (to avoid the delays) is to use NOMAIL, rather than
the signoff procedure.


* * * *   Temporarily Stopping (and Re-Starting Mail From LM_NET * * * *

If you want to stop receiving mail from LM_NET for a period of time, all
you have to do is send a specific message to the listserv computer which
handles LM_NET mail.

Send the message to this address:  listserv@listserv.syr.edu

   In the body of the message, on the first line, type the following:
   set lm_net nomail

To restart your LM_NET mail, send to the same address, the following:
   set lm_net mail
