MailingLists

MHVLUG Hosts a number of mailing lists for public use. As a spam prevention method, in order to post to any of the e-mail lists you must be subscribed to that list. The open source Sympa mailing list program powers our lists. In order to sign up to any of the lists go to http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo and create an account. From there you can sign up to the lists listed below.

Mailing List Rules

When posting to the mailing list, make sure to adhere to the following rules:

  1. Send only plain text email (text/plain MIME type)

  2. Keep your lines less than 80 characters wide

  3. Don't start a new email to the list by replying to an unrelated post (known as thread stealing), as this screws up thread tracking in the archives
  4. Quote selectively in replies, i.e., cut out the bits of the previous message that aren't getting replied to
  5. Include your reply after the relevant quoted text (a.k.a "bottom-posting")

Available Lists

mhvlug (at) mhvlug (dot) org

This is our main general discussion list. It has a moderate level of traffic, and is the place the place you want to post if you've got a Linux question.

announce (at) lists (dot) mhvlug (dot) org

A very low traffic list that announcements about MHVLUG events are sent.

interlug (at) lists (dot) mhvlug (dot) org

This is not a list LUG members would be interested in. It contains no Linux content and it is policed for such. It is intended for LUG officers worldwide: Running a LUG with frequent meetings requires imaginative officers to guide and schedule. There are any number of troubles a LUG can run into from stagnation, to meeting space. This list hopes to serve as a way to benefit LUGs worldwide by allowing officers to share ideas and experiences of what has worked and what has not.
