There are a pair of administration test mail lists available to practice administration skills.
ip-test-admin@bzs.org
This mail list mimics the activity you will see
when you are the assigned administrator.
ip-test@bzs.org (alias ip-test-profile@bzs.org)
This mail list mimics the activity you will
see on the
insulin-pumpers@bzs.org
insulin-pumpers-digest@bzs.org
insulin-pumpers-browser@bzs.org
and insulin-pumpers-profile@bzs.org
mail lists while you are performing admin duties.
You will see the same messages that both the administrator and the list
member sees when using the ip-test-xx mail lists.
CAUTION !! if there is more than one person subscribed to the ip-test-xxxx lists at the same time, you will all receive the messages posted. You must ignor the messages for the other administrator. To this end, name your test subject mail addresses so you can easily recognize them and thus the messages which belong to you.
Subscribe to ip-test-admin@bzs.org by sending a message to:
ip-test-admin-request@bzs.org
---- containing ----
subscribe
end
This is an open mail list. You will get everyone else's test messages if you
do not remember to unsubscribe when you are finished by sending a message
to:
ip-test-admin-request@bzs.org
---- containing ----
unsubscribe
end
or you may use the majordomo syntax
majordomo@bzs.org
--- containing ---
subscribe ip-test-admin
or unsubscribe ip-test-admin
end
You may then send subscription requests and profiles to the
ip-test@bzs.org / ip-test-profile@bzs.org mail list
(they are actually the same list aliased to each other).
The administrator's password for this mail list is:
ip-test.PASSWORD
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE unsubscribe any dummy accounts you put on this list.
Send test mail list subscriptions in a message to:
majordomo@bzs.org
---- containing ----
subscribe ip-test test@email.address
end
Send test profiles to the list in a message to:
To: ip-test-profile@bzs.org
Subject: Test-Member Name < test@email.address >
---- containing ----
Hi, this is some test text in
a test member profile that I have decided to let run off the page so I can practice the wrap.
Remember to first unsubscribe all of your test accounts from ip-test. You must be a member of ip-test-admin to do this. Second, unsubscribe yourself from ip-test-admin. Remain on the ip-test-admin list until you have confirmed that your dummy accounts on ip-test@bzs.org have been removed. You can check the dummy mail list accounts by issuing the message to:
ip-test-request@bzs.org
---- containing ----
who
end
Unsubscribe dummy accounts by issuing the message to:
ip-test-request@bzs.org
---- containing ----
approve ip-test.PASSWORD unsubscribe dummy@email.address
end
or same effect, different syntax
majordomo@bzs.org
--- containing ---
approve ip-test.PASSWORD unsubscribe ip-test dummy@email.address
