IRAF Archive ListServer

The IRAF Project maintains a Listserver for our archive which can be used to subscribe to the ADASS Newsgroup Hierarchy, allowing posted messages to be forwarded to you via e-mail.

listproc@iraf.noao.edu

The list server address is listproc@iraf.noao.edu. To get information about the list server send it the following request:

% mail listproc@iraf.noao.edu help

This will cause a list of all the commands recognized by the list server to be returned via e-mail, or you can preview what is returned from this page. To subscribe to a newsgroup send the following request to the listserver:

subscribe

"newsgroup" "your name and affiliation"

e.g. to keep up on the latest news and bugs:

% mail listproc@iraf.noao.edu subscribe adass-iraf-announce "Joe Smith, NOAO" subscribe adass-iraf-buglog "Joe Smith, NOAO"

Note that the "dashed" form of the newsgroup/list name is used for the listserver, rather than the "dotted" form. Multiple requests can be included on successive lines, for example to subscribe to multiple newsgroups. To unsubscribe from a news- group send the "unsubscribe " request.

Posting Messages/Questions

Messages or questions may be posted to any of the ADASS newsgroups by sending mail to the "dashed" form of the newsgroup/list name. For example.

% mail adass-iraf-applications@iraf.noao.edu ....body of message % mail adass-iraf-system@iraf.noao.edu ....body of message

Messages should be sent individually to each group to avoid possibles problems with cross-postings. Questions may also be send to iraf@noao.edu to contact the main technical support line if a more immediate response is required.
