Anyone with Superwylbur privileges on their MVS logonid can send messages up to 500 lines long to any other MVS logonid with Superwylbur privileges. If you do not scratch the file, the next mail someone sends you will just be added to the end of what already exists and you will probably never notice the new message. To send a response, you collect the text you want to send in the Superwylbur text editor and at the command line, type MAIL TO logonid substituting their MVS logonid. The MAIL TO command will not send messages to Internet addresses or other mail systems. The ITS Customer Support mailing list server distributes messages sent to a mailing list to members of the list.
People can add and remove themselves from the list by sending commands to the server.
A list can be moderated so that only the moderator can post messages to the list or it can be unmoderated so that any list member can post to the list. A list can be a public list to which anyone can subscribe or a private list to which only the moderator can add people. One common type of mailing list is a public moderated list for distributing announcements to those persons interested in them. The ITS Customer Support mailing list server can be used for classes and campus organizations. Faculty or staff interested in setting up mailing lists should contact Patrick Gartung at 753-9514 for further information.
