How to Administer your Groong Email Subscription
To receive Groong in email, you must subscribe to the mailing list.
You should know the available options, in order to customize your
reception to your needs optimally.
There are two modes of email reception for Groong:
- REGULAR reception: You'll receive Groong articles in your
email as they are sent in, one by one. During the course of a regular
day there may be quite a number of postings. An average day these days
sees about 75-80 articles posted throughout the day.
- DIGEST reception: You'll receive a single email from Groong
around midnight each day. This email will contain a MIME-encoded listing
of all of that day's postings to Groong. The MIME-encoding gives the reader
a menu-like listing of all the topics of the articles in a browsable format,
from which the reader can select for reading whichever ones are desired.
- Through the web.
What this does is to send listproc@usc.edu an email with the following
instruction:
add groong YOUR-EMAIL-ADDRESS YOUR-FULL-NAME
- Send Email to: LISTPROC@USC.EDU
- In the body of the Email, your instruction should be:
set groong mail DIGEST
Note that you must send your instruction from the account which is
subscribed to Groong, otherwise this will not work properly.
- Send Email to: LISTPROC@USC.EDU
- In the body of the Email, your instruction should be:
set groong mail ACK
Note that you must send your instruction from the account which is
subscribed to Groong, otherwise this will not work properly.
This is a very handy instruction. In case you go on vacation and must
suspend your reception for a while, this is the command you wish to
issue.
- Send Email to: LISTPROC@USC.EDU
- In the body of the Email, your instruction should be:
set groong mail POSTPONE
Note that you must send your instruction from the account which is
subscribed to Groong, otherwise this will not work properly.
This is the same as setting your reception to either REGULAR or DIGEST mode.
Ohhh! You want to really get off the list... Ok, I see.
- Send Email to: LISTPROC@USC.EDU
- In the body of the Email, your instruction should be:
unsubscribe groong
Note that you must send your instruction from the account which is
subscribed to Groong, otherwise this will not work properly.
This is the same as:
- PERMANENTLY REMOVING the OLD Email address,
- ADDING the NEW Email address.
Note that you must send your "remove" instruction from the account
which you're cancelling, otherwise this will not work properly.
If you have problems getting stuff to work, send email to the Groong
