Email List Policies/Etiquette

Overview

The NAAA maintains a number of email lists for use by its members, summarized in the table below. NAAA members can manage their email list subscriptions and change list options such as receiving digest format using the web-based Mailman interface. You are responsible for keeping your email list subscriptions up to date separately from the information you provide in the NAAA database.

The naaa-alumni list is the main NAAA "chat" list. There are several "local-area" lists serving groups of active NAAA members around the country. Some individual academy classes have also setup lists for their center/year (ie: gsfc1994, msfc1997, dfrc2000, arc2003, etc). Finally, the naaa-news list is used by NAAA officials for official announcents, and general postings from alumni are not allowed.

You may manage your email list subscriptions by using the web-based Mailman interface found here: http://nasa-academy.org/mailman/listinfo/

This page lists all of the publically available email lists run by the NAAA. Clicking on a list name leads you to general information on that list, and gives you the option to subscribe. If you are already a subscriber, you can change your preferences by entering your subscription email address and list password. Then you can change your subscription address (on a single list or globally), turn on digest mode, etc). (Note, your password for the email lists is not the same as your database password.)

The Mailman interface also allows subscribers to view archives of all of the posts that have been made to the lists, which is useful if you have been out of touch with the NAAA community for a while.

Email List Policies

Subscribe access is generally restricted, meaning the list owner must approve subscription requests.

To reduce spam, postings to the lists are only accepted from list subscribers. This means if you post a message with a return address other than the one you are subscribed with, the message will be forwarded to the list-owner for approval. The same is true if the list name is not explicitely included in the To: or Cc: fields.
