The BMW Digest is managed by majordomo, a highly regarded package for the automatic handling of mailing lists.
Click here to go to the new majorcool web based subscription system.
Majordomo commands may be sent to
majordomo@digest.netCommands in the Subject: header will be ignored; majordomo expects to see commands in the body of the message, one per line. Typical commands might look like the following:
help lists info bmw-digest subscribe bmw-digest unsubscribe bmw-digest bob@example.com index bmw-digest get bmw-digest v05.n003The help command is used to obtain the list of standard majordomo commands. The info command is used to get the introductory message for new subcribers to the bmw-digest. The subscribe command is used to join the digest; you do not have to specify an email address (majordomo will get one from the header of your email message.) The unsubscribe command is used to get off the digest; you can optionally supply email addresses on both subscribe and unsubscribe, but it may cause administrative delays as most requests that include email addresses must be processed by hand.
The index command is used to get a full listing of all the digest archives; it is in unix "ls -l" format. In this format, the last thing on each line is the file name. Volumes of the digest are given arcane names like "v04.n853" for volume 4, number 853. Note that volume numbers are 2 digits and issue numbers are 3 digits; leading zeros are mandatory to make the numbers the proper length.
The FAQ may be obtained from ftp://ftp.krusty-motorsports.com/digest/bmw/faq/ via anonymous ftp. The file ftp://ftp.krusty-motorsports.com/digest/bmw/FAQ.0 contains the table of contents.
There is a web version of the FAQ available at http://cbsgi1.bu.edu/bmw/new_bmw.html.
These policies are in a state of transition; expect some change and evolution with time. A more detailed statement will be appearing shortly.
Classifieds are fine; just don't send them out over and over and over...
No Free Business Advertising. Advertising for personal items is permitted; however, people who seem to advertise rather a lot may find themselves declared to be businesses for purposes of this mailing list.
Businesses wishing to post short, tasteful ads to the Digest may do so by arrangement with the Digest Coordinator, Richard Welty. The advertising rate basis is $0.10 per email address on the list per ad. Membership as of 27 November 1996 is 3100, giving a cost of $310.00 for a one time advertisement.
Members who post business ads without prior arrangement will be prohibited from posting to the Digest.
Rates/Penalties for unsolicited bulk email (aka "spam") are published at http://www.digest.net/.
The BMW Digest is administered by Richard Welty (rwelty@krusty-motorsports.com). Please contact him with any problems you may have; just don't expect miracles. He doesn't get paid enough for that.
