News from the Listbox Service

  M. Marquina and A. Taddei CN/DCI

As announced in the last CNL, a consolidation of the Listbox hardware and software has been undertaken and the service is now running much more reliably on a dedicated machine.

The documentation has been improved and two tutorials given. You can find those on the Web at:

http://consult.cern.ch/dci/mail/listbox/

Recently two new features have been added to Listbox:

• Automatic updating and generation of mailing lists.
• Possibility to setup a mailing list as a private newsgroup.

More details of both are given below. In addition, you will find two other Listbox related articles:

• Migrate your Mailing Lists now! (section 3.5).

  If you still have LISTSERV mailing lists or mailing lists in your VM NAMES file that need to be migrated, read this article.

• Listbox for Novices (section 3.6).

  If you are a new user of the Listbox service, and may be having some problems, you should read this.

And, finally, if you need further help with Listbox you can always contact: Listbox.Support@cern.ch.
