Instructions for iris@hort.net

You have subscribe to the list in order to post to it. Please see below.


iris@hort.net is an internet mailing list devoted to
discussion on garden irises. Both experienced irisarians and
beginners are welcome. If you grow, breed, or study irises,
want to learn how, or just want to join the conversation,
you are invited to subscribe.

To subscribe to the list:

1. From your email program, create a blank message.
2. In the "To:" line, type

majordomo@hort.net

3. In the BODY of the message put:

subscribe iris
or
subscribe iris-digest
or
subscribe iris-allow

Depending on what kind of service you want. (read further)

Subscribe iris will allow you to post messages to iris@hort.net and receive individual messages posted there.

Subscribe iris-digest will allow you to post messages to iris@hort.net and receive a daily digest of all messages posted.

Subscribe iris-allow will allow you to post messages to iris@hort.net but not receive individual messages posted there. (You can read the messages by accessing the archives with your browser). If you have multiple email addresses (or locations) you can subscribe all of them to allow you to post from anywhere. (see below)

If for some reason you wish to have the mailings go to a different address
(a friend's address, a specific other system on which you have an account,
or an address which is more correct than the one that automatically appears
in the "From:" header on the mail you send), you would add that address to
the command. For instance, if you're sending a request from your work
account, but wish to receive "demo-list" mail at your personal account
(for which we will use "jqpublic@my-isp.com" as an example), you'd put
the line

subscribe demo-list jqpublic@my-isp.com

4. Send the message (the subject line does not matter)

No matter how you subscribe, the address to send posts to the list is:

iris@hort.net
