How to Join

Did you know there are actually three different lists?

To subscribe to the Christlib discussion list, send an email to:

from the address you wish to subscribe.

To post a message to the list, send an email to:

from the subscribed email address.
Only subscribed members are allowed to post.

To get help using the list software, send an email to:

from your subscribed email address.

To unsubscribe from the list, send an email to:

from the address you wish to unsubscribe.

That's the main part. It's been insanely slow lately but we have been known to generate almost 200 messages in a day when things got wild.

There's also a digest version of the list if you'd rather get the messages lumped together but I have to warn you that when the list gets really slow, you might get the messages really late because they get delayed until another messages comes in to flush them out.

To subscribe to the Christlib digest, send an email to:

from the address you wish to subscribe.

To unsubscribe from the digest, send an email to:

from the address you wish to unsubscribe.

The Ezmlm software will only let you post from a subscribed address but some people have different sending addresses at different times of day and most people only want to receive from the list on one of their many accounts. So Ezmlm has a feature called the "allow" list. Subscribing an email address to the christlib-allow list allows you to post messages from that address without receiving them on that address.

To subscribe to Christlib-allow, send an email to:

from the address you wish to subscribe.

To unsubscribe from Christlib-allow, send an email to:

from the address you wish to unsubscribe.

Well that's the basics for the three different lists but there's still more.

What if you want to subscribe from an address but you can't send from that addres at the moment?

You can specify what address you want subscribed to any one of the three lists in the following manner.

To subscribe or unsubscribe any list from any address send an email to:

listname-action-user=host.domain@reveile.org

Examples:

christlib-digest-subscribe-bob=yahoo.com@reveile.org will subscribe bob@yahoo.com to the christlib-digest.
christlib-unsubscribe-bob=yahoo.com@reveile.org will unsubscribe bob@yahoo.com from the main christlib list.

I don't remember which ones but some of the above methods will require confirmation from the list owner first. If you don't immediately get a response from Ezmlm, then it has probably sent a confirmation request to the list owner. Confirmation should be handled within 24 hrs. A quick note to bill@reveile.org or christlib-owner@reveile.org might help if the email to be subscribed could be mistaken for a spam factory or something.
