Majordomo List

To subscribe (or unsubscribe) to the Majordomo list to receive individual emails, send mail to:
ros-request@dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl and put into the message body:
(un)subscribe

OR

Send mail to:
Majordomo@dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl
and put into the message body:

To subscribe/unsubscribe to the digest mailing list, send mail to:
ros-digest-request@dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl
and put into the message body:
(un)subscribe

OR

Majordomo@dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl and put into the message body:
(un)subscribe ros-digest

The Subject: field is ignored, so fill in anything you like or leave it blank.

The digest list receives one digest message after approx. 25K of postings to the regular list, or after 3 days. If you can't keep up with the regular list but don't want to miss the RoS list entirely, or if you are going on vacation and don't want to find your mailbox swamped when you return, consider (temporarily) subscribing to the digest list.

To switch from regular list to digest list, send a message to:
Majordomo@dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl
with

subscribe ros-digest

unsubscribe ros

in the message body.

For security reasons Majordomo refuses people to (un)subscribe others to the RoS mailing list, only themselves. Therefore, don't specify an E-mail address (not even your own!) when (un)subscribing; Majordomo will take the E-mail address to (un)subscribe from the From: field of your message.

If you have any problems with subscribing to the Majordomo list, contact owner-ros@dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl


Retrieving files from the Majordomo archive

The RoS mailing list keeps monthly archives, digests, and other Ros related files.

To find out what's in the ros list archive send a message to

majordomo@dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl

with "index ros" in the body (without the quotes) and you will receive an answer that looks like:

>>>> index ros
total 13178
-rw-r--r-- 1 tirza users 9747 Apr 22 07:05 An_Overflowing_Rain
-rw-r--r-- 1 tirza users 17449 Dec 14 1995 Be_Careful_What_You_Wish_For

The last entry on every line is the file name.

The file "contents" in the ros list archive contains a list of all the files in the ros list archive together with a short, one-line description of the contents of each file. To obtain this file, send a message to

majordomo@dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl

with "get ros contents" (without the quotes) in the body and it will be send to you by E-mail.

The monthly archives are named "ros.YYMM", e.g. "ros.9510" is the archive for October 1995. But beware, they can be quite large: most are more than 0.5 Mb, some are over 1 Mb!

To retrieve a specfic file from the ros list archive, send a message to:

majordomo@dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl
^^^^^^^^^
with:

get ros <filename>

in the message body (for <filename> fill in the name of a file in the RoS mailing list archive, mind the capitials and underscores: Majordomo is case-sensitive) and the file in question will be send to you by E-mail. The Subject field is ignored, so fill in anything you like or leave it blank.

You can specify multiple files in one E-mail message. Just add one request line for each file, e.g. put into the message body:

get ros A_Bad_Day_in_Sherwood
get ros An_Overflowing_Rain
get ros Be_Careful_What_You_Wish_For
etc.

To find out what digests are available, send a message to

majordomo@dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl

with "index ros-digest" in the body and you will receive an answer that looks like:

>>>> index ros-digest
total 20034
-rw-rw-r-- 1 majordomomajordomo 30321 Nov 3 1995 v01.n003
-rw-rw-r-- 1 majordomomajordomo 27397 Nov 6 1995 v01.n004
-rw-rw-r-- 1 majordomomajordomo 24676 Nov 8 1995 v01.n005
-rw-rw-r-- 1 majordomomajordomo 26614 Nov 10 1995 v01.n006

Digests can be handy to retrieve if for some reason you missed a few postings to the regular list, e.g. because your mail box was full or because your mail server was having trouble, or if you unsubscribed for a short period.

The digests are named "vdd.nxxx", where 'dd' is the two-digit volume number and 'xxx' is the three digit digest number, e.g. "v02.n003" is digest volume 2, number 003.

To retrieve a digest, send a message to:

majordomo@dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl
^^^^^^^^^
with

get ros-digest vdd.nxxx

in the message body.
