1.5. Subscribing and unsubscribing to sci.med.aids.
The answer to this question depends on your system. You may have to
ask your local system administrator. Here are some guidelines valid
on many systems:
* You may have USENET on your system, especially if you run UNIX or
VMS. Here are some commands to try: "rn", "trn", "xrn", "nn", "tin".
If they work, try joining the newsgroup "sci.med.aids".
That might not work, since some sites limit the newsgroups they
receive. All is not lost: you can get sci.med.aids by e-mail.
* If USENET is not available you can get sci.med.aids by e-mail. Send
a mail message to listserv@rutvm1.rutgers.edu. The message body
should contain just the following command: subscribe aids <yourname>
Type in your real name (not your e-mail address) instead of <yourname>.
A complete message might look like this:
To: listserv@rutvm1.rutgers.edu
Subject:
subscribe aids Joe Smith
To unsubscribe, send a message to listserv@rutvm1.rutgers.edu
containing the text
unsubscribe aids
Please unsubscribe before your account expires. The moderators get
all sorts of junk mail if you don't.
Question 1.6. What is a moderated newsgroup?
A moderated newsgroup is one in which all postings must be approved by
the moderators before being distributed. The purpose of moderation is
to restrict what can appear. Postings which do not adhere to the
guidelines for the group will be rejected.
