Congratulations!
As we promised, we've moved ComplianceNet to the new mail list software. Below, you will find the message that is sent to every new subscriber. It contains important information, so please read it carefully. Also, attached, you will find the original announcement about the mail system change.
You can find information about mail list rules and regulations on IPC's home page. ( http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm ).
Please contact me if you have any questions or problems.
Regards,

You have been added to the ComplianceNet mailing list (ComplianceNet
Mail Forum.) by Dmitriy Sklyar <[log in to unmask]>.
Please save this message for future reference, especially if this is the
first time you subscribe to an electronic mailing list. If you ever need
to leave the list, you will find the necessary instructions below.
Perhaps more importantly, saving a copy of this message (and of all
future subscription notices from other mailing lists) in a special mail
folder will give you instant access to the list of mailing lists that you
are subscribed to. This may prove very useful the next time you go on
vacation and need to leave the lists temporarily so as not to fill up
your mailbox while you are away! You should also save the "welcome
messages" from the list owners that you will occasionally receive after
subscribing to a new list.
To send a message to all the people currently subscribed to the list,
just send mail to [log in to unmask] This is called "sending mail
to the list", because you send mail to a single address and LISTSERV
makes copies for all the people who have subscribed. This address
([log in to unmask]) is also called the "list address". You must
never try to send any command to that address, as it would be distributed
to all the people who have subscribed.
All commands must be sent to the
"LISTSERV address", [log in to unmask] It is very important to understand
the difference between the two, but fortunately it is not complicated.
The LISTSERV address is like a FAX number that connects you to a machine,
whereas the list address is like a normal voice line connecting you to a
person. If you make a mistake and dial the FAX number when you wanted to
talk to someone on the phone, you will quickly realize that you used the
wrong number and call again. No harm will have been done. If on the other
hand you accidentally make your FAX call someone's voice line, the person
receiving the call will be inconvenienced, especially if your FAX then
re-dials every 5 minutes. The fact that most people will eventually
connect the FAX machine to the voice line to allow the FAX to go through
and make the calls stop does not mean that you should continue to send
FAXes to the voice number. People would just get mad at you. It works
pretty much the same way with mailing lists, with the difference that you
are calling hundreds or thousands of people at the same time, and
consequently you can expect a lot of people to get upset if you
consistently send commands to the list address.
You may leave the list at any time by sending a "SIGNOFF ComplianceNet"
command to [log in to unmask] You can also tell LISTSERV how you want it
to confirm the receipt of messages you send to the list. If you do not
trust the system, send a "SET ComplianceNet REPRO" command and LISTSERV
will send you a copy of your own messages, so that you can see that the
message was distributed and did not get damaged on the way. After a while
you may find that this is getting annoying, especially if your mail
program does not tell you that the message is from you when it informs
you that new mail has arrived from ComplianceNet. If you send a "SET
ComplianceNet ACK NOREPRO" command, LISTSERV will mail you a short
acknowledgement instead, which will look different in your mailbox
directory. With most mail programs you will know immediately that this is
an acknowledgement you can read later. Finally, you can turn off
acknowledgements completely with "SET ComplianceNet NOACK NOREPRO".
Following instructions from the list owner, your subscription options
have been set to "SUBJECTHDR" rather than the usual LISTSERV defaults.
For more information about subscription options, send a "QUERY
ComplianceNet" command to [log in to unmask]
Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can get a
list of the available archive files by sending an "INDEX ComplianceNet"
command to [log in to unmask] You can then order these files with a "GET
ComplianceNet LOGxxxx" command, or using LISTSERV's database search
facilities. Send an "INFO DATABASE" command for more information on the
latter.
This list is available in digest form. If you wish to receive the
digested version of the postings, just issue a SET ComplianceNet DIGEST
command.
Please note that it is presently possible for other people to determine
that you are signed up to the list through the use of the "REVIEW"
command, which returns the e-mail address and name of all the
subscribers. If you do not want your name to be visible, just issue a
"SET ComplianceNet CONCEAL" command.
More information on LISTSERV commands can be found in the LISTSERV
reference card, which you can retrieve by sending an "INFO REFCARD"
command to [log in to unmask]
