E-Mail List Information

LUNAR has two kinds of mailing lists, google groups lists and mailman mailing lists. How you manage your subscription depends on which kind of list it is.

The general list is a google groups list.

lunar-general@googlegroups.com

General is designed for general discussions on rockets and rocketry. It is not moderated but submissions are restricted to those subscribed to the list.

While there are no explicit restrictions on the discussions that can take place on the list, the moderators reserve the right to ban any subscriber that engages in inappropriate behavior.

The general list is a google groups list.

Group name: LUNAR General

Group home page: http://groups.google.com/group/lunar-general

Group email address: lunar-general@googlegroups.com

You can read the list on the server or you can use e-mail.

You must create a google account and then you can add yourself to the group.

Subscribe to General

The announce, pyrotalk, and sarg mailing lists are mailman lists. To add or remove your self from these lists or to change from a normal list to a weekly digest, you have two options.

Web based list management
E-mail based list management

Web based list management

To use web based list management connect to the following URL,

http://lunar.org/mailman/listinfo

Note that there is no www in the URL above. There you will see the lists you can subscribe to. Click on one and follow the directions for adding yourself to a list. You will get a list password that you can use to come back later to change or close your account.

Another feature of the web based list management is a list archive where you can view all the old messages sent to the list.

E-mail based list management

You can also manage the lists via e-mail. First, if you send an e-mail to the following address with the word "help" in the subject or body, the list will send back some instructions.

*-request@lunar.org

Replace * with the name of the list you want help on.

List specific commands (subscribe, who, etc) should be sent to the *-request address for the particular list, e.g. for the 'general' list, use 'general-request@lunar.org'.

About the descriptions - words in "<>"s signify REQUIRED items and words in "[]" denote OPTIONAL items. Do not include the "<>"s or "[]"s when you use the commands.

The following commands are valid:

confirm <confirmation-string>: Confirm an action. The confirmation-string is required and should be supplied by a mailback confirmation notice.
end: Stop processing commands. Use this if your mail program automatically adds a signature file.
help: Print this help message.
info: Get information about this mailing list.
lists: See a list of the public mailing lists on this GNU Mailman server.
password [<oldpassword> <newpassword>] [address=<address>]: Retrieve or change your password. With no arguments, this returns your current password. With arguments <oldpassword> and <newpassword> you can change your password.
If you're posting from an address other than your membership address, specify your membership address with `address=<address>' (no brackets around the email address, and no quotes!). Note that in this case the response is always sent to the subscribed address.
set ...: Set or view your membership options.
Use `set help' (without the quotes) to get a more detailed list of the options you can change.
Use `set show' (without the quotes) to view your current option settings.
subscribe [password] [digest|nodigest] [address=<address>]: Subscribe to this mailing list. Your password must be given to unsubscribe or change your options, but if you omit the password, one will be generated for you. You may be periodically reminded of your password.
The next argument may be either: `nodigest' or `digest' (no quotes!). If you wish to subscribe an address other than the address you sent this request from, you may specify `address=<address>' (no brackets around the email address, and no quotes!)
unsubscribe [password] [address=<address>]: Unsubscribe from the mailing list. If given, your password must match your current password. If omitted, a confirmation email will be sent to the unsubscribing address. If you wish to unsubscribe an address other than the address you sent this request from, you may specify `address=<address>' (no brackets around the email address, and no quotes!)
who password: See everyone who is on this mailing list. The roster is limited to list administrators and moderators only; you must supply the list admin or moderator password to retrieve the roster. We have limited the list access here to prevent the list from being taken by spammers.

Questions and concerns for the attention of a person should be sent to

*-owner@lunar.org

where you replace * with the list name.

List Archives

A feature of the mailman lists is a list archive. If you deleted or missed an important discussion on the list you can go to the archives and relive every moment. Go online to the specific list you are interested in,
