What is a listserve? • What is a listserve? – – – • A listserve (aka newsgroup) is basically an email distribution list. A listserve enables subscribers to communicate with each other through one email address. There are many free newsgroups (e. g. Yahoo, Google, etc). The Mcnally and Cheney Trail NW Groups use Yahoo! Groups. The Mcnally and Chaney Trail listserves were a key source of real-time information during the Station Fire. Altadenablog. com What is a Yahoo! Group? – A Yahoo! Group is any group — your family, friends you see every summer, business associates, your book group, etc. — that uses Yahoo! Groups to privately share email, info, images, ideas and more — on the web. – If you have a yahoo email account, you can utilize the additional features of the newsgroup (e. g. add/post calendar items, event reminders, photos, files, links, etc). – The Mcnally Listserve is a Yahoo! Group. • How much does it cost to create/join a Yahoo! Group? – There is no cost to creating/joining a Yahoo! Group. • Do I need any special software to use Yahoo! Groups? – No, nothing special. To subscribe to Yahoo! Groups, all you need is Internet access and an email address.
Joining a listserve • How do I join Yahoo! Groups? – You can create a new Yahoo! Group at groups. yahoo. com – Yahoo! Group info at: http: //help. yahoo. com/l/us/yahoo/groups/original/members/index. html – To join an existing Yahoo! Group, submit a request by emailing <groupname>-subscribe@yahoogroups. com. – The moderator can also manually add you to the existing Yahoo! Group. • Do I need a Yahoo! email address to use Yahoo! Groups? – No, you can use any email address you'd like. Keep in mind that your email address will be visible to the owner/moderators of the groups you join. If you post a message, other members of the listserve group will receive your email. Make sure you use an email address which you don't mind disclosing to them. – Please note that if you are using a non-yahoo email address, you will not be able to utilize the additional features of the newsgroup (e. g. add/post calendar items, event reminders, photos, files, links, etc).
Leaving a listserve • How do I leave (or unsubscribe from) a listserve? – You can unsubscribe from an existing Yahoo! Group by sending an email to: <groupname>-unsubscribe@yahoogroups. com – You can also unsubscribe by clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ link on the bottom right hand corner of your email. • I was added to a listserve without my permission – You can unsubscribe from an existing Yahoo! Group by sending an email to: <groupname>-unsubscribe@yahoogroups. com – You can also unsubscribe by clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ link on the bottom right hand corner of your email.
Mcnally Listserve Post message: Subscribe: Unsubscribe: List owner: mcnally-nw@yahoogroups. com mcnally-nw-subscribe@yahoogroups. com mcnally-nw-unsubscribe@yahoogroups. com mcnally-nw-owner@yahoogroups. com How do I post a message/email to the Mcnally listserve? • • Send an email to mcnally-nw@yahoogroups. com Please note that anyone that is not subscribed to the Mcnally listserve CANNOT send or receive emails to the group. Email mcnally-nw-subscribe@yahoogroups. com Please ensure that you provide information about yourself when requesting to be added to the listserve. This will help speed the process when verifying your information. Your request will be forwarded to the moderator and you will be added once your information has been verified. The moderator may also add you directly to the listserve if your email was provided (e. g. at the Neighborhood Watch Meetings).
Privacy, Members, and Identity Who will see my emails to the Yahoo! Group? – This is a private email group. Anyone that is not subscribed to this email group cannot send or receive emails within the group. New users to the group (pending verification) can ONLY be added by the moderator. – Message posts within the Yahoo! Group will not be indexed by search engines. – We may forward emails from other listserves that are available for cross-posting [e. g. Cheney Trail] to the Mcnally listserve. What information is publicized when I participate in Yahoo! Groups? – If you post a message — which sends each Group member an email — your entire email address is shown in the "From: " field, just as if you were sending them email directly. My email address is being revealed – In email messages that member receive, your email address will display in full to all members who receive the email (just as if you sent the email directly to each member). We do this so that members who receive emails have the option of replying directly to you versus emailing the entire group. – You can hide your Yahoo! ID by creating an alias within Yahoo! Pulse. What information can I see about other members? – Members who associate their account with a Yahoo! ID show whatever information they’ve made public within their Yahoo! profile.
