Subscribing to the CMUG email Help List

Unless you already know all the answers, you should be using CMUG's Help List. On second thought, if you do know all the answers you REALLY should be using it. Then you could join the others helping fellow CMUGers with their Mac questions.

    To subscribe to the list, send email as follows:

To: majordomo@peak.org
From: your-email-address
Subject: First and Last name
Body (message area): subscribe CMUG-Help

When you send in your request for subscription you will not get an immediate subscription response. First Majordomo sends your request to the list manager so he can check if you are a CMUG member. Next the list manager sends a message to Majordomo that your subscription has been approved.

Once you are subscribed, messagesto the list must be addressed to: cmug-help@peak.org

If you have problems with subscribing to the list or comments about how the list is managed, contact list manager Wayne Yarnall by email at helpowner@cmug.com.
