Cheetsheet for Mailing List Administration

Before adding an individual to any of the mailing lists obtain a list of the members of that mailing list first, and any of the mailing lists that are subscritbed to within that mailing lists. For example, if a users requests to be added to controls-software-release, issue an email to majordomo with the body of the email that includes

who controls-software-release
who controls-software

Scan these lists to see if the users has already been added to one of these lists, or if a typo had been made in an attempt to add this users eariler. In addition, after adding a user to one of the mailing lists, issue a who <mailing list> to majordomo and verify that you have added this user correctly. Check carefully for typos as this is very easy to do. In addition, user MUST be added with the extention slac.stanford.edu. So adding the users luchini would require that the users name be specified in full to majordomo as luchini@slac.stanford.edu.
