I saw this in one of the Internet newsgroups (rec.autos.rod-n-custom) =
and thought it might be of interest to those people in the group that =
have inquired about other automotive mailing lists. I cannot take any =
credit (nor can I accept any flames) for this compilation. Any =
thanks/praise/criticism/corrections should be directed to the fellow who =
claims responsibility for the compilation, one Richard Welty =
(rwelty at wizvax.net) is noted as the =
author/editor/administrator/whatever. I did notice that the DIY_EFI =
mailing list is conspicuously absent. I didn't feel that it was my =
place to invite others to this list (just like I wouldn't invite =
strangers to a house party at someone else's house.) It is long, but =
contains a lot of good information.
Automotive Mailing Lists (Electronic Mail, that is):
[last updated 10/27/96; new address for Dragnet mailing list, TBird
mailing list, new Chevy Impala SS list, corrected info on Peugeot
list, added Opel GT list, new address for Talon/Eclipse/Laser list,
different request address for MR2 digest, new address for Classic
Mustang list, replacement lists for the old Porschephiles list,
VW Vanagon list split, new Military Vehicles list, new address for
Miata list, new list for owners of 1947-1959 Chevy & GMC trucks, new
info for Formula SAE list -- rpw]
There are a number of electronic mailing lists on the network devoted to
various special automotive topics. Some of these are very specialized,
and at the end of this posting I list a number that are focused on
the activities of specific localized clubs.
To the best of my knowledge, all the lists appearing here have open
membership policies. It is my policy not to list `closed' mailing lists
here.
The information in this listing is only as good as my informants;
if a list stops working or moves, i will not necessarily be informed
of it.
The current version of this list is available via anonymous FTP:
ftp://ftp.wizvax.net/pub/personal/rwelty/Autos/mailing-lists.text
It is maintained by Richard Welty (rwelty at wizvax.net).
Most mailing lists provide separate addresses for administrative
queries and for general mail; where separate administrative
addresses exist, I have listed those below, as the general addresses
are not appropriate for inquirys and requests.
Listserv, listproc & majordomo:
these are the three most common automatic list handlers. Listserv
and listproc take similar commands; majordomo is subtly different.
commands for all three should be in the body of the mail message.
a listserv/listproc request to join the honda list should look like
the following:
sub HONDA-L Joe. W. NewGuy
note the real name. listserv/listproc will get the email address from =
the
message header.
a majordomo request to join the italian cars list should look like
subscribe italian-cars-digest newGuy at aol.com
note the email address and lack of real name. the email address is
optional; if omitted, majordomo will extract the real name from=20
the message header (this is often the best way to handle this.)
