This article is from the Scouting FAQ, by Bill Nelson nelsonb@nospam.aztec.asu.edu, Soaring Golden Eagle eagle@rangernet.org and Alan Houser troop24@emf.net with numerous contributions by others.
Use the subscription form at http://eBible.org/subscribe.htm OR send
a message to majordomo@eBible.org with the line
subscribe rangernet
in the body of the message. The subject line is ignored. If your email
is replyable, you will get two responses back. On will have the
subject "Majordomo results" and should tell you that your subscription
requires confirmation. (It may also tell you you that it was confused
because you didn't spell "subscribe rangernet" right. It is very
picky.) The other message is your confirmation message. It will ask
you to send a certain command back to a certain address if you really
want to subscribe. This unfortunate computer literacy test is asking
you to send the line that starts with "auth" and ends with your email
address back. Please send the exact line requested to the exact
address requested.
The confirmation step is designed to (1) avoid the hassles to the list
owner that happen when someone subscribes an incorrect address because
of misconfigured mail software, and (2) prevents someone from using
RangerNet as a mailbomb.
If your address is NOT replyable because you have entered the wrong
things for your "From" and "Reply-To" headers, you need to fix that
before you can subscribe to RangerNet. Please read the instructions for
your email package and/or ask for help from someone who can look over
your shoulder.
Note: the RangerNet mailing list is a high volume mailing list. If you
want less email, you may prefer to subscribe to the "Royal Ranger Gold"
(rrgold) mailing list, instead. Subscribing works the same as for
RangerNet, except that you send "subscribe rrgold" instead of "subscribe
rangernet".
