Public Mailing List

The EONT public mailing list has been set up by ICCS (EONT's coordinator), in order to host discussion on issues concerning utilization of New Technologies in the field of Open and Distance Learning. Feel free to post a message with your comments or suggestions about the EONT project. Please don't forget to subscribe to the list, in order to receive all messages. To subscribe to the list, send an e-mail message to listserver@softlab.ntua.gr with the body

Subscribe eont-discuss <Your Name>

from the account on which you want to receive mail. Off course, replace with your real name (i.e, I would put subscribe eont-discuss Tasos Koutoumanos).

Mailing lists Basics

(abstract from "ON-LINE MAILING LISTS")

Mailing lists are automated e-mail delivery systems. Some mailing lists are designed for one way information delivery, while others encourage a community dialogue to evolve among all members of the mailing list. For more information on a particular mailing list, send a mail message containing the highlighted phrase between the quotations marks on the second line to the address given. Most importantly, learn the commands that control the list server, and make sure you know the difference between the address of your mailing list and the address of the list server! All commands (e.g., "help", "subscribe," and "unsubscribe") go to the list server's address, which will look like one of these:

	listserv@somewhere.edu 
	majordomo@somewhere.edu 
	listproc@somewhere.edu

However, the actual mail to and from your list--the good stuff--must be sent to a completely different address. Never send a command to that address, because it will probably be forwarded on to dozens or hundreds of people!
