Using the Mailing Lists Once you are subscribed, you can send e-mail directly to everyone on the list by addressing your correspondence to listname@michigancc.net. For instance, you would send mail to mlad@michigancc.net if you were on the mlad mailing list. The following are some hints and tips to keep in mind when using mailing lists:

• Always send administrative requests to Listserv@michigancc.net Use the actual list address for list correspondence only
• Remember that everything, including replies, are sent to everyone on the list, so if you wish to reply to an individual, use his/her address, not the lists, in your reply
• Always unsubscribe from listservs before going on vacation if you use a "vacation message". Better still, avoid using "vacation messages" altogether, as they usually cause more problems than they cure.

Finding Out Who is on a Specific List In order to find out who is subscribed to a specific list, follow these instructions:

1. Send an E-mail message to Listserv@michigancc.net
2. Leave the Subject: of your message blank

         list mccadar
4. Send the message. You will receive a listing of users back from the server usually within a matter of minutes.
