> The EASI list is managed by a LISTSERV server. LISTSERV commands should
> always be sent to the "LISTSERV" address, ie
> [log in to unmask] LISTSERV never tries to process messages
> sent to the EASI-request address; it simply forwards them to a human
> being, and acknowledges receipt with the present message.
>
> The "listname-request" convention originated on the Internet a long time
> ago. At the time, lists were always managed manually, and this address
> was defined as an alias for the person(s) in charge of the mailing list.
> You would write to the "listname-request" address to ask for information
> about the list, ask to be added to the list, make suggestions about the
> contents and policy, etc. Because this address was always a human being,
> people knew and expected to be talking to a human being, not to a
> computer. Unfortunately, some recent list management packages screen
> incoming messages to the "listname-request" address and attempt to
> determine whether they are requests to join or leave the list. They look
> for words such as "subscribe," "add," "leave," "off," and so on. If they
> decide your message is a request to join or leave the list, they update
> the list automatically; otherwise, they forward the message to the list
> owners. Naturally, this means that if you write to the list owners about
> someone else's unsuccessful attempts to leave the list, you stand good
> chances of being automatically removed from the list, whereas the list
> owners will never receive your message. No one really benefits from this.
> There is no reliable mechanism to contact a human being for assistance,
> and you can never be sure whether your request will be interpreted as a
> command or as a message to the list owners. This is why LISTSERV uses two
> separate addresses, one for the people in charge of the list and one for
> the computer that runs it. This way you always know what will happen,
> especially if you are writing in a language other than English.
>
> In any case, if your message was a LISTSERV command, you should now
> resend it to [log in to unmask] The list owners know that
> you have received this message and may assume that you will resend the
> command on your own. You will find instructions for the most common
> administrative requests below.
