Mailing List
Welcome back to the JaxLUG mailing list running and hosted on LINUX!
Since its inception in 1996, the JaxLUG mailing list has been the groups heart and soul, which was lost in 2013 when moving to proprietary Google Groups, which should never have occurred, but uncooperative, unskilled people in the community decided otherwise, and it has driven the community into the ground, and any interaction on the mailing list, and Google Groups to a screeching halt.
Once again, the JaxLUG mailing list is self-hosted on Linux as it should always have been! Linux is a superior server, and Linux is a rock solid mail server and that extends to mailing list servers as well. This valuable resource went away due to a lack of skill only. That skill never left the area, it was just pushed aside in the 2013 Coup d'état, so inferior technologies like Google Groups could be used instead.
New Beginning
The old mailing list taken down in 2013 has been restored, LITERALLY!
As a proper Linux Systems Administrator, William L. Thomson Jr. kept meticulous backups, and to this very day has a full backup archive of the JaxLUG VM he once hosted on his private cloud network at Peak10, and was never migrated to Linode when he moved into the public Cloud.
This mailing list could have been hosted by William and existed contiguously since 2013, had it not been for others, who frankly, and literally, got in the way of progress for the entire Jacksonville and North East Florida Metropolitan areas. Due to William's passion for both Linux and Jacksonville, Florida, his hometown, this list has been fully restored, using the same list as before. Past members have been removed, as to not re-join people who have not received an email from the list since 2013.
ezmlm
The JaxLUG list, once was, and is again, powered by ezmlm, easy mailing list manager, which is very widely used and well-known mailing list software, that is well documented. The following are some initial commands, from ezmlm itself.
list-help@jaxlug.ngo
Please send a blank/empty email to the list at list-help@jaxlug.ngo for further help/instructions as necessary, and receive your own message like the following.
Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing the
list@jaxlug.ngo mailing list.
I'm working for my owner, who can be reached
at list-owner@jaxlug.ngo.
This is a generic help message. The message I received wasn't sent to
any of my command addresses.
Here is a list of the command addresses supported:
Send mail to the following for info and FAQ for this list:
<list-info@jaxlug.ngo>
<list-faq@jaxlug.ngo>
Similar addresses exist for the digest list:
<list-digest-subscribe@jaxlug.ngo>
<list-digest-unsubscribe@jaxlug.ngo>
The messages do not really need to be empty, but I will ignore
their content. Only the ADDRESS you send to is important.
You can start a subscription for an alternate address,
for example "john@example.com", just add a hyphen and your
address (with '=' instead of '@') after the command word:
<list-subscribe-john=example.com@jaxlug.ngo>
To stop subscription for this address, mail:
<list-unsubscribe-john=example.com@jaxlug.ngo>
--- Administrative commands for the list list ---
I can handle administrative requests automatically. Please
do not send them to the list address! Instead, send
