Hash-l FAQ

Subscribing Posting Mail List Owner Help Unsubscribing Do's and Don'ts  Hashers, The following information will assist you in subscribing, reading, posting, and unsubscribing from the world wide Hash House Harriers E-mail list: Subscribing to Hash-L To subscribe to the Hash-L mailing list, simply address an E-mail to listproc@usc.edu with no subject line. Insert the following text in the body of the message: SUBSCRIBE HASH-L "Insert your name/hash name/home-hash here" Once your request has been confirmed, you will receive a message stating that it has been successfully processed. On any given day, there can be up to 100 postings to this list.  If you do not desire to receive each message posted to the list individually, you can request a single daily message (DIGEST: digests distributed daily at 23:30 or every 64000 bytes) by going to digest mode. To do this, address an E-mail to listproc@usc.edu with no subject line. Insert the following text in the body of the message:   SET HASH-L MAIL DIGEST To reset from Digest back to individual mailings:   SET HASH-L MAIL Or, you can unsubscribe and re-subscribe to get back to regular E-mail delivery. Once your request has been confirmed, you will receive a message stating that it has been successfully processed.  Posting mail to Hash-L   To post to the list, address your message to hash-l@usc.edu  List Owner Subscription settings changes and other listproc requests should be directed to the listproc server (listproc@usc.edu), instead of the list address. See HELP below. Only mail (posts) for the subscribers of the HASH-L list should be sent to hash-l@usc.edu. Need HELP?   To get more information on how to use this service, please send email to listproc@listproc.usc.edu. Put the word HELP on a line by itself in the body of the text. Documentation is available via anonymous ftp, at ftp.usc.edu in the directory pub/listproc.  Web-based documentation is available at http://www.usc.edu/isd/doc/maillists/ If you use Pegasus mail, please make sure that 'CONFIRMATION RECEIPTS' are turned OFF.   Confirmation receipts create excessive error mail for the listowner, who may delete you from the list for that problem. If you use Microsoft Mail (MSMail), please make sure that you have configured the default reply to the REPLY-TO tag.  Otherwise, when you reply, your message will merely go to the error queue, and will NOT be posted.  Getting OFF the list To REMOVE yourself from the list, send email to listproc@usc.edu with the following text in the message body: SIGNOFF HASH-L   or   UNSUBSCRIBE HASH-L If this fails, send your request to the list owners via this address: HASH-L-request@listproc.usc.edu (If all-else fails your last resort would be to contact the USC Listproc Site Manager at listmgr@usc.edu)  Do's and Don'ts   Please note that the discussion on this list may contain offensive language, as well as sexual references, and people otherwise acting pretty immature. This list is not moderated.  Please use enough restraint and judgment so that I don't have to moderate it, ever. Please be aware that if your network address returns errors to this server, you may be automatically deleted from the list.  These errors may include mailbox full errors, invalid host/userid errors caused by temporary conditions, and delivery unavailable errors. If you are deleted, resubscribe. For those of you forced to use Microsoft Mail (MS Mail) please read the information available in msmail.notes under the usc-public file.  To retrieve this file, send the command get usc-public msmail.notes to listproc@listproc.usc.edu Please do not advertise non-hash stuff, like chain letters, pyramid schemes, discount merchandise, etc.  This will incur the wrath of the listowner. Please also be aware that hashers from all over the world use this newslist, but some in the third world have been discouraged from joining because of the low signal to noise ratio. It would therefore help these hashers if you would exercise some restraint in the length of your postings and do not unnecessarily waste bandwidth. Therefore please do not, for example, post long UUencoded files containing graphics of your logo, etc. Instead offer to post them to subscribers who request them.   Finally, please don't post humor or other articles that you have just discovered elsewhere on the net. We have all heard the stories about the guy(s) who have ripped off their testicles, the Neiman-Marcus cookie recipe, the Good Times virus, the kid who is dying of cancer so he wants a postcard (he recovered, 9 years ago), the good sex chain letter, plagiarized Dave Barry articles, ripped off chapters from "PC Fairy Tales", crap about what men/women really want, Bill Gates anything (they were IBM jokes 10 years ago), phunny phoriegn phrases, etc. We have all heard it before. The only thing that will happen is that people will flame you. If you have problems with the list, do not send mail to the list. (I am not on the list, and will not see it). Send mail to the listowner.
