Phi Kappa Alumni Mailing List

Note, in order to keep spammers from harvesting the email address described below, instead of "user@example.com", I will say "user at example dot com".

We have set up a mailing list named "alumni at phikappacrows dot com". You can control certain aspects of the list via commands sent via email. The commands are send to an email address starting with the name of the list ("alumni"), followed by a dash and the command. To find out more including other command you can issue, send e-mail to "alumni-help at phikappacrows dot com". The most often used are to subscribe or unsubscribe from the list. Just send email to "alumni-subscribe at phikappacrows dot com" or "alumni-unsubscribe at phikappacrows dot com" to unsubscibe. Each message you get will have instructions on how to unsubscribe.

One thing I should mention is that I have set this up so only people subscribed to the list can send to it. This is to try and prevent spammers and email virii from polluting the list. Mail from non-subscribers will come to a moderator (currently just me, but I can add others) for approval. If you want to send from an email address other than the one you are subscribed to, simply subscribe with that address. If your address changes, subscribe the new address and unsubscribe the old address.

How does this relate to the web site login?

The web site login is unrelated to the way the email works. It is a way for people to add content to the web site. For example, you can add new items, events, photos,etc.

You don't really need a web site login at this point. Eventually I may put content that we want hidden that would require a web login. For now, if you aren't sure if you need a web site login, you probably don't need it.

Still confused?

If any of this doesn't make sense to you, or you need help in any way, just let me know.
