Faculty list server information

Faculty are on a restricted e-mail list server. This list is neither accessible to the general public nor to other University staff or students. However, faculty can send a single message to one e-mail address and it will be distributed to other faculty.

Sending a message to other faculty

To send a message to the other faculty, send an e-mail to:

cjfaculty@listserv.temple.edu

To successfully send the message, you must be sending from the e-mail address that is on the system. In other words, if I (Jerry) have listed you as using an AOL account, you must send the message from the AOL account.

Changing your e-mail address

If you want to change the e-mail address used for faculty communication, then drop me an e-mail and I (Jerry Ratcliffe) will change the e-mail address on the system, or add your new one (you will get two messages in this case).

Who else is on the list?

Send an e-mail to listserv@listserv.temple.edu and in the text of the message (the subject line is ignore) simply have a line that states:

review cjfaculty

Other commands

You  may leave  the list  at any  time by  sending a  "SIGNOFF CJFACULTY" command to  LISTSERV@LISTSERV.TEMPLE.EDU. You can also  tell LISTSERV how you want it to  confirm the receipt of messages you send  to the list. If you do  not trust the  system, send a  "SET CJFACULTY REPRO"  command and LISTSERV will send you  a copy of your own messages, so  that you can see that the  message was  distributed and  did not get  damaged on  the way.

After a while  you may find that this is  getting annoying, especially if your mail program does not tell you  that the message is from you when it informs you that new mail has arrived  from CJFACULTY. If you send a "SET CJFACULTY  ACK  NOREPRO"   command,  LISTSERV  will  mail   you  a  short acknowledgement  instead,  which  will  look different  in  your  mailbox directory. With most mail programs you will know immediately that this is an  acknowledgement  you  can  read  later. Finally,  you  can  turn  off acknowledgements completely with "SET CJFACULTY NOACK NOREPRO"

Following  instructions from  the list  owner, your  subscription options have been set to "ACK REPRO" rather than the usual LISTSERV defaults. For more  information about  subscription options,  send a  "QUERY CJFACULTY" command to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.TEMPLE.EDU.

Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can get a list  of the  available archive  files  by sending  an "INDEX  CJFACULTY" command to  LISTSERV@LISTSERV.TEMPLE.EDU. You can then  order these files with  a "GET  CJFACULTY LOGxxxx"  command, or  using LISTSERV's  database search facilities. Send  an "INFO DATABASE" command  for more information on the latter.
