The ATNF Astro exploder

Information of interest to ATNF astronomers (both staff and users) is distributed on a "majordomo" list-server (aka "exploder"), which is linked to a hypermail server, so that you can access all mail sent to this exploder via the WWW. Mail on this exploder typically includes:

• Colloquium announcements
• Astro meeting agendas and minutes
• Job advertisements
• Hot news items
• Announcements about AT operations

All ATNF staff and users, or potential users, are welcome to join this exploder, and you can join ("subscribe") or unsubscribe yourself by following the instructions below. Alternatively, you can browse all previous mail on the WWW without subscribing. This latter form ("hypermail") has the advantage of listing the various mails by thread (i.e. the "subject" of the original mail) as well as by chronological order. You can send mail to everybody on this list by sending mail to astro@atnf.csiro.au.

FURTHER INFORMATION

• If you are sending email from the ATNF or from a recognised astronomical institution, you may subscribe to this by sending an email to astro-request@atnf.csiro.au with the single word "subscribe" in the body of the message (the subject can be left blank). Your application to subscribe will then be approved on the next working day.
• If you are sending email from any account which we may not recognise as identifying you as a bona fide user (e.g. from a University or Compuserve account), then we will not approve your request to subscribe to astro, unless you first send an email to Vince McIntyre saying who you are you and why you want to subscribe. We apologise for this, but it is necessary to protect our users from antisocial people who use these exploders for sending junk mail. You may then subscribe to the exploder by sending an email to astro-request@atnf.csiro.au with the single word "subscribe" in the body of the message (the subject can be left blank). If your email identified you as a bona-fide user or someone with a legitimate interest, then your application to subscribe will be approved on the next working day.
• Those with ATNF computer accounts may view the astro mail without joining the list-server group
