mailserver command comparisons

[Thayer]

The recent Roadmap to the Internet course included a lesson on LISTSERV and
another that discussed other mailservers.  All the lessons from Roadmap
are available from Univ. Alabama as outlined in the forwarded message below.
The comparative command list (with numerous basic commands) was in lesson 06,
which was part of week 2.  The series was a useful introduction to many
features of the net.  (Disclaimer: I had no part in producing it, etc...)

Subject:      THIS IS THE LAST LETTER ... PROMISE!
To: Multiple recipients of list MAP2 <MAP2 at UA1VM.UA.EDU>

Thank you once again for participating the the Roadmap workshop!!
This will be the last letter that you will receive from me :(

BY THE TIME YOU READ THIS LETTER I WILL HAVE ALREADY UNSUBSCRIBED
YOU FROM THE LIST. YOU DO NOT -- REPEAT DO NOT -- HAVE TO SEND
AN UNSUB MESSAGE TO THE LISTSERV! I WILL TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING FROM HERE!

Before I say goodbye, there are two things that I want to tell you:
     1. If you have any friends or co-workers who were not able
        to participate in the Roadmap workshops, please tell them
        to send an e-mail letter to
                       LISTSERV at UA1VM.UA.EDU

        with the command
                       GET MAP PACKAGE F=MAIL

        in the body of their letter. I have set the workshop files
        up so that people can now get the lessons in one week blocks,
        and the GET MAP PACKAGE command will send them two letters
        telling them how to get these "blocks."

     2. The MAP2 list will cease to exist on Monday (I think).
        If you want to GET back copies of the Roadmap lessons, please
        use the following *NEW* filenames and filetypes in your
        GET FILENAME FILETYPE F=MAIL letters that you send to

        You can now also get the lessons e-mailed to you in one-week
        blocks, simply by sending an e-mail letter to
               LISTSERV at UA1VM.UA.EDU

        with the command
               GET WEEK# PACKAGE F=MAIL

        in the body of your e-mail letter, replacing the # with the week
        number of the block that you want to retrieve.
        For example, to get all of these "WEEK2" files e-mailed to you
          WEEK2

          MAP06     LESSON    OTHER MAIL SERVERS
          MAP07     LESSON    NETIQUETTE

        all you have to do is send an e-mail letter to
               LISTSERV at UA1VM.UA.EDU

        with the command
               GET WEEK2 PACKAGE F=MAIL

        in the body of your e-mail letter. After you send your letter,
        a computer at the University of Alabama will process your letter
        and will -- usually within 24 hours -- e-mail you the particular
        one-week block of lessons that you request.

Thank you again for subscribing to the workshop. If I decide to
hold any other workshops, I will make an announcement on NEW-LIST
(I told you about NEW-LIST in that MAP-EXTRA on neat stuff).
... buh-bye :(
