To
send a message to all the people currently subscribed
to the list, just send mail to ETHIOPIA@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM.
This is called "sending mail to the list (EEDN)", because
you send mail to a single address and LISTSERV makes
copies for all the people who have subscribed. This
address (ETHIOPIA@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM) is also called
the "list address". You must never try to send any command
to that address, as it would be distributed to all the
people who have subscribed.
Example:
Top
All
commands such as "SET EEDN Mail, SET EEDN NOMail" must be sent to the
"LISTSERV address", LISTSERV@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM.

Additional
Information
Three
Important Mailing Addresses
You should keep in mind that for any given list, there
are at least three slightly different addresses, all
of which point to different places and all of which
are meant for specific purposes. Some people who inhabit
lists have a tendency to get upset when you send LISTSERV
commands to the list address, for instance, or you may
wonder why that posting you mailed to LISTSERV keeps
coming back with notes like "Unknown command - "HELLO".
Try HELP." The following information intended to help
you sort out these different addresses.
A.
If you want to send a message to all members (EEDN),
the right address to use is:
ETHIOPIA@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM
B.
If you want to send a COMMAND such as "set Ethiopia
mail, set Ethiopia Nomail, etc." to the SERVER , the
right address is:
LISTSERV@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM
C.
If you want to contact EEDN Tech Services, write to:
ETHIOPIA-REQUEST@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM
