The DXSpider Support mailing list is a forum for sysops of the DXSpider Linux DX Cluster Software. If you have a problem running the software or writing new commands for it, this is the place to get help.
The mailing list is a discussion forum implemented by electronic mail though which people subscribed to the list can receive copies of messages addressed to the list. The mailing list is run automatically by the 'mailman' list server software which accepts requests for admisistrative functions (subscribe, unsubscribe, etc.) as well as re-delivering copies of messages submitted to the list itself.
You can send commands to the mailman software to join (subscribe) or resign (unsubscribe) from the list as follows:
Send an email from your normal email account as follows:
To: dxspider-support-request@dxcluster.org
Subject: subscribe
Body of message:
subscribe dxspider-support
You can do this automatically by clicking the link and then pressing "send" in your mail client.
Majordomo will send you back confirmation and require you to return an authentication number to complete the subscribtion - this is done to prevent misuse of the email system.
Send an email from your normal email account as follows:
To: dxspider-support-request@dxcluster.org
Subject: unsubscribe
Body of message:
unsubscribe dxspider-support
You can do this automatically by clicking the link and then pressing "send" in your mail client.
To send a message to list (and hence the subscribers and the list archive) address your email as follows:
To: dxspider-support@dxcluster.org
Subject: something relevant goes here (you decide)
Please note that it is preferrable to conduct discussions in "plain text" rather than in mime attachments
All posts to the mailing list are copied to a list archive. The archive is accessible as standard web pages over the internet. The archive indexes messages in both date order and "thread" order.
