Setting up mail list

[Rick Speer <rspeer@lplonline.org>]

Here is an email from Jim Hart on how to set up a new mail list.  One
needs to get onto both our mail server and our ftp server to set
everything up.  This can be done physically in the Library or thru one
of those control programs like Timbuktu.

5) Make the List Name whatever you want.
6) The List Address must be a combination of the POP Name and the POP 
Server, i.e. popname@mail.avcnet.org.  The popname doesn't have to be the

type (probably "Only subscribers can post").

22) Turn on the monitor on mail.avcnet.org
