These directions assume you have an already existing list that you want to add to or delete from. If you are starting a list from scratch, see the instructions for creating a distribution list.
- Go into your Dolphin account using SecureCRT or Kerberized telnet.
- At the "Main Menu" prompt, type unix and press enter.
- You'll be at a lengthy prompt ending with a $ or %. Change to the
alias subdirectory by typing cd alias and press enter. Now
you'll be at a prompt ending with /alias.
- If you don't know the name of your listserve file (that is, the
actual list of e-mail addresses to which the mail is sent), look
for a file ending with the extension .list by typing ls
and pressing enter. The ls (list) command will show you the
contents of your alias directory.
- Once you have identified the .list file you want to edit, go into
the pico editor by typing pico xxxxx.list and pressing
enter. (Use your filename in place of the xxxxx). That should open
your list of addresses in an editing window.
- Make your changes. Then type ctrl+o to write-Out the file.
Press enter to confirm the filename.
- Exit the file with ctrl+x and your edited list should
now be active -- UNLESS it is a restricted list (that
is, a list to which only you and those you authorize can send mail,
while everyone on the list receives it). If yours is a restricted
list, see the next step. If it's an unrestricted list, you're finished
and can logout.
- A restricted list must be updated whenever changes are made.
To do this, at the unix prompt type list-menu and choose
Update Restricted List from the list of options. Your edited list
should now be ready to use and you can logout.
