To provide information to YALO consortium members and users in a relatively low-maintenance way, we have setup a number of topical mailing lists using a Majordomo server at the Ohio State University Department of Astronomy. YALO consortium members and guest investigators from the astronomical community assigned time through the NOAO TAC are invited to subscribe to these lists as their interests dictate. You can also unsubscribe yourself at any time.
Follow these links to learn more about the various YALO email lists:
Help from Majordomo
Majordomo is a public-domain automated email list server that is probably the most widely used on the internet, and it has extensive internal documentation. To find out more about the automated server and the commands it understands, send an email to majordomo@astronomy.ohio-state.edu with the one-line message:
helpand no subject line. The majordomo server will send you a detailed help message in return.
Help from Humans
If you feel your problem is such that you need to reach a human, send email to:
list-approval@astronomy.ohio-state.eduwhere "list" is the name of one the relevant YALO mailing lists (e.g., yalo-users-approval@astronomy.ohio-state.edu) and describe your problem. Your message will be forwarded to whoever is currently serving as the list manager.
Noise Abatement
The lists are pretty quiet as mailings lists go, and there has not been any trouble with extraneous garbage. So far so good. However, just in case, we have implemented the following policies:
subscribe yalo-usersand no subject line. Your email address will be picked up off the mail header. Receipt of your subscription will be acknowledged by the majordomo system (or you will get an error message).
Similarly, you can unsubscribe from yalo-users at any time by sending the one-line message
unsubscribe yalo-usersand no subject line. You should receive email acknowledgement of your removal from the yalo-users mailing list. If this fails, try using your email address explicitly (especially if it has changed since you subscribed):
unsubscribe yalo-users bullwinkle@whatsamattau.eduNot sure what address you are subscribed under? Then send
who yalo-usersto see the entire list, including you, then unsubscribe with that email address.
subscribe yalo-logsand no subject line. Your email address will be picked up off the mail header. Receipt of your subscription will be acknowledged by the majordomo system (or you will get an error message).
