Mailing Lists

1. nistswitch-dev@antd.nist.gov This is the NIST Switch Developer's mailing list. You can't subscribe to this list (unless, of course, you happen to be a NIST Switch developer), but you are welcome to submit questions or bug reports to it.

2. nistswitch@antd.nist.gov This is the public NIST Switch mailing list, for general discussion of NIST Switch issues. Only list subscribers can send or receive mail on this list. You are invited to subscribe to the list when you request the NIST Switch software. To subscribe or unsubscribe at any other point, send mail to nistswitch-request@antd.nist.gov. (Again, send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to nistswitch-request@antd.nist.gov. and not to the mailing list itself!!) This is a majordomo-administered mailing list. If you are not familiar with majordomo, click here for more information about it than you probably wanted to know. (Note: this is a link outside of NIST.) In brief, to make requests to the majordomo server, send a mail message to it with your request in the body of the message (not in the subject line!) Possible requests include:
   • help - get more information about the requests below
   • info - get some general information about the list
   • subscribe - subscribe to the list. If your return address is not evident in the header of your mail message, or you wish to subscribe with a different address, supply it as follows:
     subscribe your_email_address
     To reduce the possibilities for abuse, we use a subscribe-with-confirm approach. When you subscribe, you will receive an email message with instruction on how to confirm your subscription. Only after you have confirmed will you begin receiving list messages.
   • unsubscribe - unsubscribe from the list. Again, when needed you may supply the address:
     unsubscribe your_email_address
     
   • end - last request to process. This is helpful if your mail software adds signature lines or the like which might otherwise confuse the majordomo server.
