What is a listserv
and how does it work?
A listserv is an electronic mailing list that is email based and is
now reserved for Presidents/ CEOs of Arizona credit unions. When you post a message to a list, it is delivered to all
of the subscribers on the list. When you reply to a message from the
list, that reply goes back to all of the list subscribers as well.
Subscribing /
Unsubscribing (Joining / Unjoining)
To join a listserv a user must send an e-mail with no subject or
message to: . Once a member has been approved
they will receive a confirmation email.
To leave a listserv a user must send an e-mail with no subject or
message to:
Attachments (File
Library)
To prevent the spread of viruses, the listserv does not accept
e-mail attachments.
How do I post a
message to a listserv?
Simply send an email to
. (Remember, you must be a list
subscriber before you can post a message.)
How do I know when I
receive a message from a listserv?
Depending on the e-mail program that you use to access mail, you may
see the message addressed from an individual subscriber or from the
listname itself. For example, you may see the message addressed From: az_dialogue@doig.cuna.org; and you may also see the
e-mail address from the actual subscriber such as dorothy@cuna.org
What if I subscribe
to more than one listserv using the same e-mail address?
In short, you'll probably be receiving a fair amount of e-mail. But
you'll always know what listserv the message is coming from by
looking at the REPLY TO: field
NOTE: It is important to remember that whenever you hit the REPLY or
REPLY ALL button on a message from a listserv, that reply will be
delivered to all subscribers on the list.
How do I remove my
name from a listserv?
To remove yourself from any of the CUNA lists simply send an e-mail
addressed to . Or you can click on the
Unsubscribe link that is included in the "footer" of any message you
receive from the list
What are the rules
about e-mail and listservs?
When
replying to a message, think first before automatically
hitting the reply button. Would it be better to send
your message to the individual who posted the query
rather than the whole group?
DON'T TYPE IN ALL CAPS. It's perceived as shouting in
e-mail.
Always remember to put your full name and e-mail address
at the end of your message. This way people can send you
private responses.
If
you don't have something worth saying, then keep it to
yourself, or send a private reply to an individual. Many
of the list subscribers get inundated with e-mail every
day and may not appreciate receiving responses like, "me
too", or "I agree" or "yes".
The
listserv arena is not a place to humiliate or yell at
one another. People make mistakes, so please be
respectful of your peers and their opinions.
What happens if I
send an e-mail to a listserv that I'm not subscribed to?
If you are subscribed to a list, but don't use that e-mail address
when posting a message, the e-mail is not delivered to the list. It
goes to the list administrator and usually is ignored or deleted.
CUNA's listservs are
not moderated
Once you've subscribed to any of CUNA's listservs; all messages that
are correctly addressed will be posted to the list. CUNA does not
censor any mail. But the listserv administrator does hold the right
to remove individuals who abuse the list in any way.
