How to use the Shawomet District E-mail List Server on Yahoo Groups

 

The Yahoo Groups E-mail List Server that we now use works in the following way:

1. Once you decide you want to see ALL of the Scout related messages sent to
   the e-mail list server, you subscribe to the server as shown under
   "SUBSCRIBE".

2. Once you have sent the subscribe request, Yahoo Groups will send you an
   e-mail asking you to verify your request.  Once you have verified the
   subscribe request you will receive a second message telling you that you
   are subscribed and how to send messages to the server.  You will start
   receiving a copy of ALL e-mails sent to the server.

3. REMEMBER that an e-mail sent to the server will be sent to ALL subscribers
   to the server.  PLEASE DO NOT SEND messages to SPECIFIC individuals to the
   server.  Messages between individuals sent to the server tend to irritate
   the subscribers.  Please be considerate and careful with any replies.

NOTE:

When you reply to an e-mail from our server, PLEASE MAKE SURE you REVIEW the ADDRESS you are replying to. Our server has been set up so that a reply will automatically go to the SENDER of the original e-mail and not to the server (and then to everyone that is subscribed to the server). If you want your reply to go to the server, and therefore to all the subscribers, you must change the reply address to the server's address.  

USERS CAN BE BANNED FROM THE SERVER:

The Shawomet District E-mail List Server is to be used ONLY FOR SCOUTING RELATED MESSAGES. Jokes, stories, religious or political statements are not to be sent to the server. People using the server for ANY other type messages will be warned one time about posting non-Scout related messages. The next time that person sends a non-Scout related message, their userid will be BANNED from sending/receiving e-mail messages to the Shawomet_bsa YahooGroups server.  

WARNING:

The Yahoo Groups E-mail List Server is a free service. Therefore, you may see advertisements in the e-mail messages that are sent to you as a result of you subscribing to the list server. The Shawomet District has NO CONTROL of what advertisements get appended to the e-mails.

or VIEW/SEARCH PREVIOUS MESSAGE FILES

You MUST reply to the e-mail yahoo groups will send to you to verify your subscribe request.

You MUST reply to the e-mail yahoo groups will send to you to verify your un-subscribe request.

VIEW/SEARCH PREVIOUS MESSAGE FILES:

To view/search previous messages stored on the Shawomet_bsa Yahoo Groups, you MUST be a subscriber AND establish a Yahoo Groups userid and password. Then using the address below you sign on to Yahoo Groups using your userid and password. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Shawomet_bsa/messages

There are several advantages to having a Yahoo Groups userid and password. One is that you can elect NOT to receive messages, but instead log on to Yahoo Groups to review the messages when you wish. Another is that you can elect to receive the e-mails as they occur OR once a day. You can also set up "alias addresses" (your other e-mail addresses) to be able to send messages to the server from the "alias address". There are still other advantages and they can be viewed under the "Edit My Membership" heading on your Yahoo Groups userid after you have set up the userid on Yahoo Groups.
