INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLASS "LISTSERV"

To "sign up" for the listserv (REQUIRED):

  1. Use any internet connection (home, school, etc.).

  2. Go to http://nt10.ipfw.edu/guest/RemoteAvailableLists

  3. Enter your email address in the box

  4. Click on "submit"

  5. Do not "uncheck" the "immediate" box

  6. If you have more than one email address at which you would like to receive messages, repeat the process entering the additional address(es)

To receive messages from the listserv:

  1. Check your email-box regularly

  2. If you have a service (such as "Hotmail") that divides out, or filters out, "junk mail" you will have to do whatever that program requires so that it recognizes that messages from the listserv are not "junk mail". In Hotmail, that is relatively easy to do when you receive the first message, unless you have instructed it to discard all junk mail, in which case you will never receive any messages from the listserv.

To send a message to EVERYONE:

  1. Address your message to a339@listserv.ipfw.edu

  2. Send in the normal manner.

To send a message to one person (instructor, other student, etc.):

  1. Do NOT address the message to the listserv address (above).

  2. Address your message only to the intended recipient, using her/his normal email address.

To respond to a message received via listserv:

  1. How the "reply" feature works varies from program to program

  2. Check your mail program by choosing the "reply" option and then checking the address(es) to which the program automatically addresses the message.

  3. If your program addresses the "reply" message to the listserv (only, or along with others) use the "reply" option only if you want the message to go to all persons who have signed up for the listserv.

  4. Many systems give you the option of replying only to the message's original sender ("reply" in Hotmail) or to all persons ("reply all" in Hotmail).
