CIRT uses the term electronic mailing list or electronic discussion list. Discussions in a mailing list come to you in the form of messages sent to your personal electronic mailbox. In order to subscribe to mailing lists you must know how to send and receive electronic mail. You should become familiar with Mulberry, UNM's electronic mail program, before subscribing to any mailing lists. You can also contact the CIRT Help Desk at 277-4848 for further assistance.
Some lists have only a few messages a day, while others generate dozens of messages daily.
Since all these messages are delivered to your mailbox, you must do something with them. After reading your discussion mail, save or download any interesting postings and delete the rest of them from your mailbox. Although you can subscribe to as many mailing lists as you like, CIRT recommends you limit the number of lists you subscribe to. The more mailing lists you subscribe to, the more mail you will have to manage. Courier Boldface denotes input required from the user.
