Automotive Mailing Lists (Electronic Mail, that is):

[last updated 8/23/97; new address for bmw list, alfa 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 ([email protected]).

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 [email protected]

note the email address and lack of real name.  the email address is
optional; if omitted, majordomo will extract the real name from
the message header (this is often the best way to handle this.)
