For students this means their free account on either ux7, ux4, or ux5. Ux1 accounts have a higher disk space allowance of 20 Mb. These are also handled in the Resource Center. The Resource Center has Eudora that once configured on your PC or Mac, allows you to download your mail for local processing. News reading can be done from any public site PC or Mac, or from a UNIX host.
Mailing lists work very much like single user e-mail.
Postings come as regular e-mail messages addressed to you. Responding to a post sends the response to the other members of the list. The latter would connect to one of the UNIX machines. You'd log in and read news on the UNIX host itself. Articles composed on the Mac would have to be uploaded and then posted.
