Re: > In the following message, shouldn't you tell people who want to join > the NIR mailing list to mail to "mailbase-request@mailbase.ac.uk" and > **not** to "mailbase@mailbase.ac.uk"? I have received two "subscribe" > messages in my inbox today, and they are just clutter to me. > > ---Charlotte Mooers > NNSC User Services NO!!!! Charlotte: Mailbase@mailbase.ac.uk is an enhanced mailing list server and the subscription requests will be handled automatically. mailbase-request is an alias for the mailbase-helpline (a person) nir-request is an alias for the nir list owner (also a person). The mail you received will have been form people who mailed to the nir list by mistake rather than to the Mailbase Server. Hope this helps. Cheers - Jill
