To have a mailing list created on the LPL network, please send an email to sys with a subject of "list create request". Include the following information in the message body:

- List description
- List owner's email address
- Email addresses of list members
To read the content of archived messages:
- First send a message with "index marzsat" in the body to see the
list of messages.
- Then send a message with "get marzsat log.xxxx" in the body to have
majordomo email you the archived message you'd like to see.
We plan to install majorcool (a web-based command interface for list maintainers and users) and web-based archive software for reading the archive. For now, please use the majordomo commands to access the archive.
Please contact the LPL Central Computing Staff if you have any questions.
