DACS Listserver
The second addition to the growing collection of Internet services offered by
the DACS is a listserver. The DACS invites you to participate in a discussion
group devoted to software engineering - the DACS S_ENG list.
Stated quite simply, a listserver is a piece of software that automatically
distributes electronic mail (e-mail) to the members of a list. The creation of
the S_ENG list provides a forum for DACS users to easily pose questions and
discuss topics relating to software engineering with other members of the DACS
user community.
The listserver uses a predefined set of commands to subscribe to a list, post
messages to a list, and perform a variety of actions related to list
participation. All listserver-specific requests (i.e., subscribe, help,
etc.) must be addressed to [email protected]. In contrast, all
postings to a given list must be addressed to the appropriate list. That
is, all messages to be distributed to members of the DACS S_ENG list, must be
sent of [email protected]. Follow the steps below to subscribe to
the DACS S_ENG list:
- Send mail to [email protected] (Note: Leave 'Subject' blank)
- The body of your message should read:
- subscribe s_eng Your Name
- You will receive notification from the Listserver when you have been added to the list.
Upon receipt by the DACS listserver, your e-mail address is extracted from the
message and added to the list of subscribers (recipients) to the DACS S_ENG list
(i.e., s_eng.). Once subscribed, you can pose a question to all of the members
of this list simply by posting (e-mailing) your question to
[email protected]. A few listserver commands are provided in the accompanying table to entice you to participate in this
new DACS service
- Comments, criticisms or suggestions for inclusion can be mailed to:
- DACS Webmaster
- [email protected]
