email notification of gbc/acm events
We are making available a self-administered email list (via LISTSERV) to allow you to get email notifications of upcoming gbc/acm events and related information that may be of interest. If you wish to receive this information, please follow the directions below:
Send a message FROM the address at which you want to receive your
announcements. If the From line of your outgoing message will include
your E-Mail address PLUS at least two (space-separated) components of
your real name (for example, John Doe ), then you can
just send the message to "GBC-ACM-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST@LISTSERV.MIT.EDU".
Both the Subject line and body of this message are irrelevant.
If you can't make the From line of your outgoing message include at
least two (space-separated) components of your real name (apart from
what is included in the actual address), then you must send your
message to "LISTSERV@LISTSERV.MIT.EDU" with the following three lines
in the body of the message:
// JOB ECHO=NO
SUBSCRIBE GBC-ACM Your Real Name
// EOJ
Note: Don't use the literal text "Your Real Name". Replace the
phrase "Your Real Name" with your full name in the same order and
with the same punctuation that you would normally use and without
any quotation marks or other delimiters.
For example: SUBSCRIBE GBC-ACM John F. Smith
When using this form of subscription request, the three characters
slash, slash, space must appear in columns 1-3 of the first and third
lines, as shown above.
After the system receives your request for a subscription, it will
send you a "Command confirmation request" message with a special code
in the Subject line. Reply to the "Command confirmation request"
message with a message that has
OK
on a line by itself, as the FIRST line of your reply. It is necessary
that the Subject line of your reply message contain the Subject line
(with the special code) from the "Command confirmation request"
message you received. The "Reply" command of most mail client software
does this automatically.
