LIST HEADER WITH DOCUMENTATION ABOUT WHAT EACH KEYWORD DOES Anything that begins with a > are my comments. Anything that begins with a * is part of the list header. You might want to consider getting a separate e-mail address for your listowner duties as you will receive several different types of mail from the listserv: posts to approve for people set to review, error messages from mail that can't be delivered due to full mailboxes, unknown users, transitory can't delivers, daily error monitoring reports, etc. LIST HEADER BEGINS HERE: PUT PH-Consortium-L LIST PW=XXXXXXXX >must be the first line of e-mail when you put the list header. >Note this is the only line of the list header that doesn't begin >with a * >Tells the listserv to use this list header PW=yourpassword * For discussions relating to public health data standards >Short list description * * Review= hdk1@cdc.gov >makes it to where only you can tell the listserv to send you >the list of subscriber e-mail addresses.
