Using Majordomo

For a very good majordomo tutorial for the novice, read Majordomo Newsletters for the Novice. For more in-depth information, read the Majordomo Listowner's Guide. The following are useful subsections from the Majordomo Listowner's Guide.

• Subscribing and unsubscribing readers
• Changing your configuration file
• Changing majordomo's description of your list
• Changing your majordomo password

Majordomo for Subscribers is a description of commands that anyone who is subscribed to a majordomo list can use. The commands in the Majordomo Listowner's Guide are only for use by a listowner, not subscribers.

Examples of Majordomo Listservs

• Cougar-Net (unmoderated, private discussion list). See the Cougar-Net home page for subscription information.
• Web Marketing Today E-Mail Newsletter/E-Zine (private, moderated newsletter). See the Web Marketing Today home page for subscription information.
• CVRT-L (unmoderated, open discussion list). See the CVRT-L home page for subscription information.

Netiquette

• Emoticons (smilies) that express emotions. For example, this is a sideways happy face---> : - )
• See also Dave Barry's collection of emoticons. Some are hilarious!
• Another emoticon repository
• Information on Internet Etiquette, or "Netiquette"
