SUBJ:MAILING LISTS
1. WE HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF USING MAILING LISTS ON THE NMC MARS
E-MAIL SERVER.  IF YOU NEED OR DESIRE A MAILING LIST LET ME KNOW.
SOME EXAMPLES MIGHT INCLUDE:
A LIST TO ALL MEMBERS OF YOUR REGION, 
A LIST TO ADDRESS YOUR AREA STAFF ONLY,
A LIST FOR DISEMINATING ECOM INFO ONLY, ETC.
2. TO GET A LIST SET UP THE RESPECTIVE DIRECTOR, OR RELEVANT STAFF
WITH DIRECTOR'S APPROVAL, SUBMITS A REQUIEST TO ME.
3. THE REQUEST NEEDS TO INCLUDE:
A. WHAT AREA, REGION, OR MARS STATE THE LIST IS FOR; 
B. THE RESPECTIVE DIRECTOR'S STAFF CALL SIGN;
C. PURPOSE OF THE LIST, SUCH AS TO ADDRESS ALL MEMBERS IN REGION;
D. THE MARS E-MAIL ADDRESS OF THE PERSON WHO WILL BE RESPONSIBLE TO
MAINTAIN THE LIST (MODERATOR);
E. INDICATE THE SETTING DESIRED FOR WHO CAN POST MESSAGES.  THE
OPTIONS ARE MODERATOR ONLY, SUBSCRIBERS ONLY, OR ANYONE (NOT
RECOMMENDED UNLESS PASSWORD PROTECTED).  
F. THERE IS THE OPTION TO REQUIRE A PASSWORD. THIS ADDS A REQUIRMENT
OF E-MAILS BEING SENT TO THE LIST, BUT IS A WAY TO REDUCE SPAM OR
OTHERWISE RESTRICT WHO CAN POST.
4. ANY OF THE OPTIONS IN 3.D THROUGH 3.F CAN BE CHANGED AT ANY TIME. 
5. NORMALLY LIST NAMES WILL BE ASSIGNED BASED ON THE STATED PURPOSE
(STANDARDIZED NAMING).
6. LISTS WILL BE GIVEN A BRIEF DEFAULT PHRASE THAT WILL BE INSERTED
IN FRONT OF THE SENDER'S SUBJECT LINE. THIS WILL AID IN READY
IDENTIFICATION AND AUTO MANIPULATION WITH E-MAIL SOFTWARE FILTERS.
6. SERVING THOSE WHO ARE... SERVING THOSE WHO SERVE.
