I don't have time to check the forum every day! How can I get the server to notify me when a new article is posted? John Reekie, 12 Aug 1999
One of the standard mailing lists provided for each
group is a notification mailing list. This list contains
exactly the members of the corresponding group.
If the notification list for, say, group foo
is turned on, then all posts and changes to the forum
and FAQ of foo will send out mail to the
members of foo.
To turn on the notification mailing list, the group administrator
needs to go the Admin page for that group, click on
the Configure link, select the "Member notification list"
checkbox, and press the "Change group configuration"
button.
Tip for group admins: if you have a notification
mailing list and a public interest list, you may
wish to subscribe the notification list to the
interest list, so that all mail to, say,
foo-interest, goes also to
foo-notify.
As of August 1999, the notification mail does not
include the contents of the articles or FAQs. We will
be supporting this ability at a later time. |
