I must caution everyone against subscribing to this list unless and until the
author fixes his incorrectly configured UNIX listserver.
 
This is *NOT* a LISTSERV.  It is a poorly configured UNIX wannabe.
 
On Friday one of my users subscribed and proceeded to receive over 250
messages confirming his subscription.  I sent a SIGN command (believe it or
not this software is so poorly written that SIGN is the command to UNSUB
from a list).  He then proceeded to receive another 100+ notices that
he was not subscribed.
 
I told my mailer (LMAIL) not to accept mail from
[log in to unmask] and sent mail to the list owner and the
postmaster at berkeley.edu and have not yet heard a response to this problem.
 
So, a word of warning....
