Internet/BITNET Mailing Lists

comp-org-eff-news@eff.org (= comp.org.eff.news)
effector-online@eff.org (EFF newsletter)
eff-activists@eff.org
comp-academic-freedom-*@eff.org
[subscribe: Email to listserv@eff.org, with lines:
"HELP
LONGINDEX"
to get a list of eff.org mailing lists with descriptions]
2600@bongo.cc.utexas.edu (2600 Mag. hacker list)
AAASHRAN%GWUVM.BITNET@VTBIT.CC.VT.EDU (AAAS Human Rights Action Network)
activ-l@mizzou1.bitnet (= alt.activism.d)
alaoif@uicvm.uic.edu (Am. Library Assoc. intellec. freedom)
(subscribe: Email to "listserv@uicvm.uic.edu"
with line "sub alaoif
Use any mailreader, such as elm, pine, eudora, etc., to participate in mailing lists. To subscribe, try mailing to [listname]-request@[address]. Failing that, try listserv@[address], majordomo@[address], listserver@[address], listproc@[address], and finally owner-[listname]@address or [listname]-owner@[address]. Never send subscribe requests to the list itself; this does nothing but irritate people. The subscribe command is usually SUBSCRIBE [listname] [your first name] [your last name]; failing that, try SUBSCRIBE [listname], SUBSCRIBE [listname] [your email address], SUBSCRIBE [your email address] [listname]. If all else fails, try replacing "SUBSCRIBE" with "ADD", "JOIN" or "SUB". If you still can't get on the list, try sending "HELP" to one or more of the addresses, putting the command on the subject line instead of in the message body, and it you still can't get on this list, ask postmaster@[address] for help. You can also send a note to all the listserver authors you can find and ask them to cooperate with other authors to standardize, before we all go crazy. ;)

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) was founded in July of 1990 to ensure that the principles embodied in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are protected as new communications technologies emerge. Since its inception, EFF has worked to shape our nation's communications infrastructure and the policies that govern it in order to maintain and enhance First Amendment, privacy and other democratic values. We believe that our overriding public goal must be the creation of Electronic Democracy.
