Lyris Instructions
The RISKANAL posting address, i.e., the one you use when you
want to send a message to all of the subscribers, is riskanal@lyris.pnl.gov.
Administrative requests, such as "subscribe",
"unsubscribe", or requests to change the configuration
of your subscription, should be sent to lyris@lyris.pnl.gov.
For example:
If your name is John Doe, send the message " subscribe
riskanal John Doe" to lyris@lyris.pnl.gov
in order to subscribe to RISKANAL.
Send the message "unsubscribe riskanal" to lyris@lyris.pnl.gov to
unsubscribe.
To reconfigure your subscription send the message set riskanal
option1 option2 to lyris@lyris.pnl.gov
, where you can specify several options from among the following
choices:
mail = receive mail as it is contributed
digest = receive a daily digest with all of the messages of the
day
index = receive a daily index of the subject lines of all of the
messages of the day
nomail = suspend delivery of messages (to restart later, send the
same command with option "mail" or "digest"
or "index"
ack = when you post a message to the list, you will receive a
confirmation that the message was distributed
noack = the opposite of ack
repro = when you post a message the list will also send you a
copy of the message
norepro = the opposite of repro
The instructions above substantially understate the flexibility
of Lyris in dealing with subscriber requests and, happily for me,
with list manager requests. Additional information about Lyris
can be found at the Lyris web site http://www.lyris.com
If you send the message "help" or "info" to
the list administrative address lyris@lyris.pnl.gov, you
will receive a message directing you to the Lyris web site. The
message "query riskanal" sent to the same address will
produce a reply from Lyris describing your current RISKANAL
subscription configuration.
In addition, there is a web site interface for doing all of the
above. Point your web browser at the site www.lyris.pnl.gov/cgi-bin/lyris.pl
The arrival menu will have a choice "Mailing list for risk
professionals" . Click on that and you get a page with a
" riskanal" link. Click on that and you have a page
that solicits your email address and password. You won't have a
password, unless you set one up, so just enter the email address
that you used when you subscribed to RISKANAL (which now appears
in the footer to every message that RISKANAL sends you). That
will bring you to a menu that will let you unsubscribe or
re-configure or read past messages. The archive of past messages
will start with the switchover to Lyris. I will be looking for
ways to move my archive of all RISKANAL messages over to Lyris.
The opening RISKANAL menu on the web site also has a button that
will let someone subscribe to RISKANAL.
As it happens, the web interface for interacting with Lyris and
RISKANAL may go away sometime down the road. Because of computer
network security issues here at the laboratory, the listserver
may ending moving behind the firewall, at which point the web
page will not be available and interaction with Lyris will have
to be carried out using email commands.
Lyris also has a mechanism that will allow you to change the
email address that you are subscribed under, but I want to make
sure I completely understand that before I pass it along.
Several of the old LISTSERV commands and addresses will be
aliased so that they continue to work under Lyris, at least
temporarily, but it would be better to learn to use the new
commands and addresses.
If you have any questions or if you see Lyris or the list
behaving anomalously, please send me an email (please don't send
it to the whole list). Jim Dukelow, RISKANAL list
manager (jim.dukelow@pnl.gov)
