NEW-LIST : LISTSERV@VM1.NoDak.EDU

NEW-LIST is a moderated distribution list which may be used to announce the establishment of new e-mail mailing lists. Many of the people who maintain "lists of lists" subscribe to the NEW-LIST list as do direct users of the information.

NEW-LIST may also be used to announce SIGNIFICANT changes to a list. A significant change is one which might prevent a user from subscribing (for example if the host system or subscription address change). Other valid changes might be if the purpose of the list changes significantly or if the list is terminated. The subject will be:

Subject: CHANGE: listname - description

Finally, NEW-LIST may be used as a list of LAST RESORT to search for lists or make sure a duplicate doesn't exist. YOU MUST search for the list yourself first! We just don't have time to do this for everyone and there will be too much noise if we send all of these to the list. You might try one of the following lists for general discussions of lists or network questions

CRUISE-L on LISTSERV@UNLVM.UNL.EDU Cruising the Internet
HELP-NET on LISTSERV@VM.TEMPLE.EDU BITNET/INTERNET Help Resource or other similar resources.

All searches submitted to NEW-LIST must include a statement that searching has been done and describe any related lists which may NOT be what you are looking for. All replies should go to the original person doing the search.

The subject for a list search or confirmation will be:

Subject: SEARCH: description

and they will be sent out as time permits. Submissions without information about searches the author has done may be returned. We also give priority to new list announcements and changes.

Filtering Information

At this time subscribers to NEW-LIST who are members on the primary host at LISTSERV@vm1.nodak.edu or on BITNET LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 have some additional ways they can tailor the information they receive.

Each NEW-LIST distribution will have one or more "topics" specified at the start of the subject in the headers. The general format is:

Subject: topic1,topic2: normal subject line

For example, new lists will be announced with the "NEW" topic:

Subject: NEW: listname - description

The following topics are avilable:

When you first subscribe to the list your topic is set to the special topic "ALL". If you wish to change topics you can send e-mail to listserv@vm1.nodak.edu (or LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 on BITNET) with the command in the BODY of the mail:

set new-list topics=topic1,topic2,...

For example, to change to NEW,CHANGE,ADMIN you sould send the command:

set new-list topics=new,change,admin

and you would NOT receive the SEARCH mail. If you want to reset your subscription to all the topics enter:

set new-list topics=all

Obtaining Files

All requests for files related to NEW-LIST should be sent via e-mail to LISTSERV@vm1.nodak.edu or on BITNET to LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 .

The "GET" command is used to obtain the file. A few of the more common files are shown with the command to enter in the body of the mail:

Command . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . Description
GET NEW-LIST FORMAT . . . . . . . . . .Format for contributions to new-list : All contributors must read this

GET NEW-LIST CREATE . . . . . . . . . . Some general suggestions if you want to set up your own list.

These files are also available via anonymous FTP from vm1.nodak.edu. Once connected enter cd new-list and then ascii (Use text transfer only). Then use get fname.ftype to get the file. For example, use get new-list.format to get the NEW-LIST FORMAT file.
