Frequently Asked Questions Related to Advaitin and ONElist.

What is An Advaitin mailing list?

Advaitin Mailing list is a system that allows many people to send email

to each other, simply by sending the email to the specified address:

advaitin .

Does it cost anything to to Advaitin mailing list?

ONElist is a FREE service. The web-site is free and the mailing list

services are free.

What is ONElist's policy on SPAM?

ONElist has taken several measures to discourage spam, or unsolicited

commercial email. Part of the registration process involves responding

to an email message that ONElist sends out. This is to ensure that every

list r is using a valid email address and be held accountable

if they spam. Only rs to a list may send email to the list. All

archived messages on the ONElist web site have had the sending email

addresses removed. This is to eliminate address harvesting.

I never received the confirmation email

The most common cause of this is an incorrect email address.

I have stopped receiving email

The first thing to do is to check the list archives to see if there are

messages that you have not received. It could be that no one has sent

any email to the lists lately.

I tried sending an email to the mailing list and it never showed up.

This could be for several reasons. If the list is a restricted list, the

list owner might not have approved your subscription. If the list is a

moderated list, the list owner might not have approved your email to be

sent to the list. If you send an email from an email address that is not

the same as the one you provided when you registered, the email will be

ignored. This is to prevent spamming.

What are the characteristics of Advaitin mailing list?

Advaitin is presently an unmoderated but a restricted list. A moderated

mailing list is a list that requires the list owner to approve all email

before they are sent to the list. A restricted mailing list is a list

that requires the list owner to approve all subscription requests to the

list. Advaitin will permit members to send announcements that are

relevant and pertain to the List objectives. Advaitin wants to remain

unmoderated and in the near future unrestricted and expects full

cooperation from the members to preserve this tradition.

What does the list owner do?

Overall, the list owner is responsible for keeping the list interesting

and on-topic. The list owner is also responsible for promoting the

mailing list. If the mailing list is moderated, the list owner must

approve all email before they are sent to the list. If the mailing list

is a restricted list, the list owner must approve all rs before

they can to the mailing list. If the mailing list is an

announcement list, then the list owner is the only person who can send

email to the mailing list.

Can the list owner add people to list without their permission?

No! The List Owner uses two features: (1) Invite Users Feature and (2)

Add Users Feature. The Invite Users Feature sends out an email to people

telling them how to to the list. The Add Users Feature

s people to the list. If the people being d have never

registered with ONElist before, they are sent a confirmation email to

validate the subscription.

How do I un-?

To un- from any lists you are on, or to change your

subscription from normal to digest mode and back, click on the User

Center link on the menu bar on the left. To access the User Center

screen, type in your email address and password and click the 'login'

button. Options to change your email address or password, to which your

subscription from normal to digest mode and back, or to un- are

advaitin ,

Are there any limits on the number of messages sent by a r to

Advaitin?

ONElist has no restrictions on the number of messages sent to a list.

I want to change the displayed name with all my email.

ONElist just uses the name that you sent with the email. So to change

this, change the configuration of your email package.

I don't understand what the No Mail option is about.

The No Mail option is useful if you are going on vacation and don't want

email to pile up while you are gone. By clicking on the Set No Mail link

in the User Center, you will turn off mail delivery for that list. Mail

will not be saved while you are not receiving email.

I don't understand what the Digest option is about.

The digest option is useful if you don't want to fill their mailboxes

with email. By clicking on the Set Digest link in the User Center, you

will receive mail delivery in a digest (mails in group).
