Mailing Lists
There are three mailing lists associated with NIST Net:
- nistnet-dev@antd.nist.gov
This is the NIST Net Developer's mailing list. You can't subscribe
to this list (unless, of course, you happen to be a NIST Net developer),
but you are welcome to submit questions or bug reports to it.
- nistnet-bugs@antd.nist.gov
This is the NIST Net alpha bug tracking list. At some point, I'm planning
to put together some sort of "official" bug report form, but for now, just
email your bug report in any old way. Here is a link
to the current bug list/alpha status
- nistnet@antd.nist.gov
This is the public NIST Net mailing list, for general discussion of
NIST Net issues. Only list subscribers can send or receive mail on
this list.
You are invited to subscribe to the list when you
request the NIST Net software. To subscribe
or unsubscribe at any other point, send mail to
nistnet-request@antd.nist.gov.
(Again, send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to
nistnet-request@antd.nist.gov.
and not to the mailing list itself!!)
- nistnet@antd.nist.gov
is a majordomo-administered mailing list. If you are not
familiar with majordomo,
click here for
more information about it than you probably wanted to know.
(Note: this is a link outside of NIST.) In brief, to make requests
to the majordomo server, send a mail message to it with your request
in the body of the message (not in the subject line!)
Possible requests include:
- help - get more information about the requests below
- info - get some general information about the list
- subscribe - subscribe to the list. If your return address is
not evident in the header of your mail message, or you wish to subscribe
with a different address, supply it as follows:
subscribe your_email_address
To reduce the possibilities for abuse, we use a subscribe-with-confirm
approach. When you subscribe, you will receive an email message with
instruction on how to confirm your subscription. Only after you
have confirmed will you begin receiving list messages.
- unsubscribe - unsubscribe from the list. Again, when needed
you may supply the address:
unsubscribe your_email_address
- end - last request to process. This is helpful if your mail
software adds signature lines or the like which might otherwise confuse
the majordomo server.
If you have trouble with the automated subscribe/unsubscribe interface,
you can mail
nistnet-dev@antd.nist.gov
to have things fixed up manually. In particular, if your email address
has changed, and you no longer have access to the old one in order to
update your subscription, feel free to write to this address. (But
again, please don't send such mail to the general list!)
NIST Net mailing lists are for discussion of NIST Net-related topics
only. Spamming or other off-topic posting may result in removal
from the list.
