Dear Colleagues,

I have established an account for an email discussion list for SAS through my university. This will enable us to simultaneously send messages to, and receive messages from, everyone on the list. Our messages will be archived for future reference if needed.

Subscriber Instructions:

Southern Anthropological Society Email Discussion List (sas-l)

The name of this list is sas-l (the letter l, not the number one).  It is headquartered at Georgia Southern University and managed by Barbara Hendry (bhendry@georgiasouthern.edu, 912-681-5362).  It is now a moderated list, which means that your messages are previewed by the moderator(s) before they reach the rest of the list.  If you have any questions, please contact Barbara.

I.  To subscribe to sas-l:

Open up your email program and prepare to send an email.

In the "To" box, type in:

listserv@georgiasouthern.edu

(Note that there is no e at the end of listserv)

Leave the subject box blank.

Tab to the body of the message, and enter the following:

subscribe sas-l Firstname Lastname

Press Send. You will get a confirmation by email that you have been subscribed to the list.

NOTE:

Members of a list can only reply or post messages to a list with their email address that they used when they subscribed to the list. Any other email address will be rejected by the listserv.

Example:

When you initially subscribed to a list, you used the email address "jdoe@gasou.edu." A month later, you changed your email address in your email program from "jdoe@gasou.edu" to "jdoe@georgiasouthern.edu."

The list will not recognize the new email address because it is not the one you used when you initially subscribed. Also, if you try to send a message to the list from someone else's email account (or your Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.), it will not recognize you. When you send messages to the listserv, it must be through an email program with your subscription account.

 

II.  To Send a Message to sas-l:

Open up your email program and prepare to send an email.

In the "To" box, type sas-l@georgiasouthern.edu

Type something in the subject line to give your message a title. In the body of the message, type your message. Press send. You will get a confirmation by email that you have posted a message to the list.

You may use any email program to perform this function. There is one caveat: The email program must be configured with your email settings, or else the listserv will not recognize who you are.

 

You reply to the list message by clicking on reply. Simply type your message, and click send. The message will go to everyone who is subscribed to the list.  

 

III.  To unsubscribe from sas-l:

Open up your email program and prepare to send an email.

In the "To" box, type in:

listserv@georgiasouthern.edu

Leave the subject box blank.

Tab to the body of the message, and enter the following:

unsubscribe sas-l

Press Send. You will get a confirmation by email that you have been unsubscribed from the list.
