Address Info

[ejray -at- OKWAY -dot- OKSTATE -dot- EDU]

     Hi,
     I just wanted to clarify the addresses given below. OSU
     is also a gateway, so the best addresses to use would
     be as follows.
     Subscribe and unsub messages (and other business
     stuff):
     LISTSERV -at- VM1 -dot- UCC -dot- OKSTATE -dot- EDU  (These two are
     LISTSERV -at- OSUVM1 -dot- BITNET        equivalent)

     Posting messages:
     TECHWR-L -at- VM1 -dot- UCC -dot- OKSTATE -dot- EDU  (These two are
     TECHWR-L -at- OSUVM1 -dot- BITNET        equivalent)

     Communicating with me (should you want to 8-)  )
     ejray -at- okway -dot- okstate -dot- edu
     ejray -at- VM1 -dot- UCC -dot- OKSTATE -dot- EDU
     ejray -at- OSUVM1 -dot- BITNET

     Please let me know if you have questions or problems.
     Eric
     TECHWR-L Listowner
     ejray -at- okway -dot- okstate -dot- edu

You used the address for the list itself; the address for the listSERVER,
where you'd want to send an "UNSUBSCRIBE techwrl" command, is

listserv%osuvm1.cunyvm.cuny.edu (converted from the BITNET address,

 listserv -at- osuvm1 -dot- BITNET)

However, if you don't still have your old e-mail address and send the
UNSUBSCRIBE message from it, the listserver won't "recognize" you, so in
that case you're better off sending personal mail to the listowner, Eric J.
Ray:

EJRAY%osuvm1.cunyvm.cuny.edu (converted likewise)

Note that the "cunyvm.cuny.edu" part of both addresses I gave above is just
*a* BITNET gateway, one I got from The Whole Internet User's Guide and
Catalog by Ed Krol. For list postings you should find out what the nearest
one (nearest = fewest routing hops away from WELL.SF.CA.US) is for you, and
use that for the part after the % in converted BITNET addresses.

For example, the name of my nearest BITNET gateway is
"ugw.utcc.utoronto.ca," so my mail program knows the techwr-l *list* address
as:

techwr-l%osuvm1 -at- ugw -dot- utcc -dot- utoronto -dot- ca

Probably the folks at The Well (where you're mailing from, yes?) can tell
you what your nearest BITNET gateway is. Hope all this has helped.

Cheers,
Pat
