Dear Listers,
I am pleased to tell you that the moderated Microbiology List, a
spam-free mirror of the BIONET.MICROBIOLOGY newsgroup, was a great
success. For the past three weeks, about 100 messages were sent to
BIONET.MICROBIOLOGY. Thirty or so messages were unrelated, and all
were successfully filtered out. As of today, we have 17 subscribers
already, and I hope that we can improve on the numbers here.
Best wishes,
Martin Latterich, Ph.D.
BIONET.MICROBIOLOGY Discussion Leader
-----------------
We have established a moderated mailing list that will mirror all
appropriate postings from the BIONET.MICROBIOLOGY newsgroup. I
suggest that everybody who is disturbed by SPAM or irrelevant
messages should subscribe to this list instead of the BIONET mailing
list. The moderators and I will forward all relevant messages at
least twice a day. If you want to reply to the messages you
receive,your reply will also appear on the BIONET.MICROBIOLOGY
newsgroup.
To subscribe to this mailing list, please send an e-mail from your
regular e-mail account to
subscribe at lipid.salk.edu
with
subscribe micro-list
in the body of the e-mail message. It is important you mail this
message from the account you wish to receive the mailing-list
messages from. If you wish to cancel your subscription, please send
an e-mail from the same e-mail account to
subscribe at lipid.salk.edu
with
unsubscribe micro-list
You can also subscribe in digest mode. You have to FIRST subscribe to
the list (see above), and THEN send the command
SET micro-list DIGEST
in the body of your message to the list-processor at
subscribe at lipid.salk.edu
Please note that while we will make any effort to filter out
inappropriate messages, we cannot guarantee that this list will
always be spam free. We also take no responsibility for any newsgroup
postings to be lost in the moderation process, although we will do
everything possible to avoid this.
If you rather want to receive all messages, we encourage you to
remain subscribed to the bionet.microbiology newsgroup or obtain your
news with a news-reader client.
