How to request files or information from "Majordomo"

A listserver is a computer program which manages Email for a group of folks with a common interest. In this case your interest is the MALOs of Southeast Texas organization . Functionally, the program maintains a list of subscribers and reflects back to the entire list any message sent to it by any single member. This list has been set up as a 'closed' list which means it must recognize your sending address as a member before it will execute the distribution.

The listserver is Majordomo. The important thing to know is that Majordomo (1) automatically broadcasts your single messages to those on his list AND (2) automatically handles your organization's archived documents. Note that these are two different functions. You will need to send your messages to the right address for each function.

====================
COMMANDS & THEIR USE
====================

All commands to request actions by majordomo are entered in their own separate messages addressed to:

majordomo@west-point.org

Please note that case is significant on the listserver so be sure to use capitals only where they are called for. Most commands are entered in lower case letters only. The subject of the message is ignored by majordomo but will be returned to you. Therefore, you can put anything in that area which will help you to identify a returning transmission. Note that some systems require something in the subject so you may have to enter at least one character!

The commands you may need are the following:

Use get to get a file
Use help to obtain additional help like this
Use index to list all the files that are available.
Use info to retrieve the listBs introductory information
Use unsubscribe to remove yourself from the list

In all cases, you add additional information after the above commands if needed.

*get* requires both list and file name.
*help* requires an optional listname. With regard to the *help* command, providing the listname will append the contents of the "help_info" file (which is also available as a retrievable file via the *get* command).
The other three commands, *index*, *info*, and *unsubscribe*, require only the list.

The example below shows the proper syntax:

get wpp-net admissions_2003_class
or
get parent-forum admissions_2003_class

***Please note, we have tried to duplicate the files in both WPP-NET and PARENT-FORUM.
