LCRC Mail Lists and Majordomo

Announcements of interest to LCRC's user community are made via email and saved in individual list archives. LCRC also supports a number of user email lists. For a description of the available lists, their membership and posting restrictions, and access to their archives, please see Email Lists. All LCRC lists are of the form <list-name>@lcrc.anl.gov.

Membership requirements vary depending on the purpose of the list. Some lists are open only to users with active Jazz accounts, while others are open to the general public. Our email lists are managed by software called Majordomo. You can join, subscribe to or cancel your participation, unsubscribe from by using Majordomo commands and electronic mail. Majordomo can also provide basic information about the lists. For a full details on how to use Majordomo, see Using Majordomo.
