E-mail Lists

SUUSI Listservers

Our listservers are a great way for everyone interested in SUUSI to stay in touch via e-mail regarding SUUSI experiences/ideas/questions, upcoming plans and schedules, even logistics. A note on the SUUSI Friends listserver is a great way to snag a ride to Southwest Virginia for the last week of July...

We have diffferent listservers to satisfy the interests of for different groups. You can subscribe to one or more:

SUUSI Announce: suusi-announce@suusi.org is our listserver for "official" announcements. Subscribers will receive about one message each month highlighting when the catalog was mailed, status of available space in Workshops and Nature trips, registration deadlines, etc. To minimize the traffic, this listserver is a one-way street replies to announcements will not be distributed to all subscribers.; Everyone attending SUUSI is automagically subscribed to suusi-announce@suusi.org Of course you can unsubscribe - go to the bottom of the form at http://lists.suusi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/suusi-announce
SUUSI Friends: suusi-friends@suusi.org is our listserver for general discussion, chat-with-each-other, keep-the-conversation-going listserver. Expect to get several messages a week about people moving and announcing their new addresses, requests for a ride to SUUSI, jokes about those songs at Cabaret (especially if skeet were involved...), comments on news, requests for signing a petition, etc. In other words, it's like sitting down for a meal at SUUSI... the topics of conversation will vary.; Your interest in the topics may vary as well. At times, a hot-and-heavy discussion may trigger a lot of traffic that's only marginally interesting to you. Naturally, there's a technique to minimize the hassle... when you subscribe, check the box saying you want to receive suusi-friends messages batched in a daily digest. You'll get only one message a day.; See http://lists.suusi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/suusi-friends to subscribe or unsubscribe. If you want to configure the listserver to send just one daily digest, look for the Would you like to receive list mail batched in a daily digest? option just below where you enter your password. Everyone interested in SUUSI may subscribe.

How The SUUSI Listservers Work

If you subscribe to a SUUSI listserver, you can be in the loop. It's a great way to keep up with the SUUSI news and all the questions... and answers... about what's going on related to SUUSI.

When you subscribe, you'll get a message like the following:

suusi-announce -- confirmation of subscription -- request 744268

We have received a request from 164.159.255.226 for subscription ofyour email address, [your e-mail address], to the suusi-announce@lists.suusi.org mailing list. To confirm the request, please send a message to announcements-request@suusi.org, and either:
- maintain the subject line as is (the reply's additional "Re:" is ok)
- or include the following line - and only the following line - in the message body:
confirm 744268

(Simply sending a 'reply' to this message should work from most email interfaces, since that usually leaves the subject line in the right form.)

If you do not wish to subscribe to this list, please simply disregard this message. Send questions to suusi-announce-admin@lists.suusi.org.

After you reply and confirm you want to be on the listserver, you'll get the welcome message next:

Welcome to the suusi-announce@lists.suusi.org mailing list!

This e-mail list will distribute occasional (monthly...) announcements about SUUSI, including the dates when we mailed the catalog, registration deadlines, changes in workshops, etc.

This is a low-traffic, moderated list. You won't get swamped with e-mail from this suusi-announce list.

In fact, you can't reply to messages from suusi-announce and have yourmessage distributed to everyone else. (Please join the"suusi-friends" list if you want to participate in the busier,interactive discussion.)

If you want an official SUUSI announcement distributed by this list, contact us at communications@suusi.org

When you send an e-mail message to a SUUSI listserver (other than suusi-info), all subscribers will receive your message. Please remember your netiquette. No one needs more junk e-mail, so please don't forward the latest off-color jokes, rumors about viruses, purported plans to tax the Internet, urban legends, etc. to everyone else on the listserver. Share those messages directly with people you know are interested in those topics - remember, the folks registered on the SUUSI listservers are interested in SUUSI.

If you have questions about the listservers, please contact the listserver administrator at listserver@suusi.org or the Communications Director at communications@suusi.org: [If you have technical questions about our use of the Mailman software, contact the listserver technical guru, Michael Ivey, at ivey@suusi.org Be sure to tell him thanks for running the listservers...]
