This article is from the Rialto FAQ, by Richard "Pug" Bainter pug@pug.net with numerous contributions by others.
There are lots of other mailing lists that may be be of interest to
SCA people. Here is a listing of some of them. There are a number of
different mailing list programs, each of which has their own procedure
to subscribe to a list. Try sending mail to LISTSERV@<host address>,
or MAJORDOMO@<host address>, or LISTPROC@<host address>, where <host
address> is the part of the address for the list you're interested in
that comes after the @ sign. The mail should have nothing in the
subject line, and the body of the message should consist of nothing
more than SUB <listname> <yourname> where <listname> is the name of
the mailing list you are subscribing to (the part *before* the @ sign)
and <yourname> is your name. If this isn't quite the right format for
the mailing list software in use, read the error message you get in
return carefully, and you should be able to figure out the right
format.
If this is unsuccessful, try appending -Request to the name of the
list, and sending mail to that address. E.g., try to subscribe to
h-costume@indra.com by sending mail to h-costume-Request@indra.com.
Many of these lists are places where modern-world scholars
communicate, and therefore are not places where persona is appropriate
-- use your modern name.
