NZ Ecological Society listserv
What
is a listserv?
A listserv (short for
List Server) is a centralised list of e-mail addresses of subscribers.
Anyone who is subscribed to the listserv will automatically receive
all emails sent to the listserv, and can send emails to all subscribers
via the listserv. You can subscribe and unsubscribe from a listserv
at any time.
The NZ Ecological Society listserv
By subscribing to the NZ ecosoc listserv, you will receive emails about meetings, seminars, jobs, and issues in New Zealand ecology. You will also be able to post emails that will be received by most practising ecologists in New Zealand.
Subscribing to the NZ EcoSoc listserv
To subscribe to this server, e-mail a message to the automatic Mailserv processor at:
nzecosoc-request@it.canterbury.ac.nz
Include nothing in the e-mail except the following text in the body of the e-mail:
SUBSCRIBE NZECOSOC
END
To unsubscribe from the listserv, send another email to the above address, but this time use the following text:
UNSUBSCRIBE NZECOSOC
Once subscribed, you will receive instructions on how to send messages, unsubscribe etc.
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND FOLLOW THEM.
Sending list messages:
To send a message to anybody on the list, use the address, nzecosoc@it.canterbury.ac.nz.
Only people subscribed to the list are able to post messages on the list. If you are not on
the list and don't want to subscribe, but want to send a message, send it to Dave Kelly
(dave.kelly@nzes.org.nz)
to forward on.
Messages on the list should follow these simple rules:
- NO ATTACHMENTS!!!
- put the info in plain text in the message
- if there is bulky or graphic material some people may want, put a web address in the message that people can click on if they want, or give a contact email address where people can ask for it
- only send stuff that is likely to be of general interest to NZ ecologists
Replying to list messages:
To reply to a list email, you have two options. You can either hit reply and this
will reply to everybody, or you can reply to the author only
(e.g., a new e-mail with the author's personal e-mail address). If you want to
reply to the person who sent it, please be careful that your reply goes to
the person, and not to the list (to be bounced out to everyone!).
If you change your email address:
If you change your email address, you have to unsubscribe from the old one, and subscribe from
the new one. If you changed address but forgot to tell the server, we start getting error
messages from your old address and have to unsubscribe you manually, so make my life easier
and do this yourself. If your email address has problems (e.g., messages rejected because your
inbox is full) for more than a few weeks we will also unsubscribe you. If you are not getting
any messages and wonder if you are still on the list, just send another subscribe command.
For information on the listserver contact, Dave Kelly (dave.kelly@nzes.org.nz).
Dave also has information on the Australian ecology listserver.
