The purpose of the course listserv available for firefighters enrolled in this course is to disseminate firehouse announcements, changes to the drill schedule, and other information which needs to be received in a timely manner. You will also be assured that you receive the information at the same approximate time as everyone else and do not have to worry if you did not have time to check the web site for such information.
If individual students have questions that need to be directed to an instructor or mentor, he or she should email the instructor directly. If a particular question is asked by several students, clarification will be posted on the listserv for the benefit of all. Other questions some of you may have can be answered by emailing another student individually rather than posting a message on the listserv and receiving too many replies.
The purpose in utilizing this listserv is for important announcements and sharing course-related information amongst class members rather than to junk up your email inbox. Before you post a message to the listserv please make sure it is appropriate for this purpose.
To begin receiving postings from the listserv, you should read and follow the instructions for subscribing and sending messages to the listserv below. The name of the listserv for this course is "distance". Please remember that posting messages to the course listserv and participating in threaded discussions are two different things.
-
Login to your email account.
-
Create a new message
To: listserv@mailer.uwf.edu
Subject: blank
Message: subscribe distance firstname lastname (your own first and last name)
Your message should look similar to the sample shown below:
Make sure that there is nothing typed in the body of the message other than the words shown above (with your first and last name instead of "melissa kelly").
-
Send
Usually within 24 hours of sending the above message to the listserv, you will receive a confirmation message similar to the one shown below.
YOU SHOULD READ THIS EMAIL COMPLETELY AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR CONFIRMING YOUR SUBSCRIPTION!!! If you do not follow the instructions, you will NOT be subscribed to the listserv.
When you click the link provided in the email message, a browser window similar to the one shown below will open.
You will know you have successfully subscribed to the list when you receive a message (like the one shown below) from the list manager welcoming you to the list. (Note: If you do not receive a confirmation message, your subscription was most likely not successful).
Make sure you read the email you receive confirming your subscription. You should save this email message because it provides you with information you will need about posting messages to the listserv and unsubscribing (taking your email off the list).
Sending Messages to the Listserv
After successfully subscribing to the listserv, you can send email messages to the listserv (from your email account):
Notes:
1. The email account that you use to sign up for the listserv is the only account that you can subsequently use to send messages to or reply to messages from the listserv. For example, suppose that you have a Hotmail account in addition to your ArgoNet account. If you send a message from your ArgoNet account to sign up for the listserv, then you have been subscribed with that email address. If you try to send a message to the listserv from another account (such as Hotmail), then you will get a notification message that your posting has been rejected.
2. By default, you will not receive a copy of messages that you send to the listserv. If you want to set-up your subscription so that you get a copy of messages that you send to the listserv:, send an e-mail (using the email account you used when you subscribed to the listserv) to:
listserv@mailer.uwf.eduwith the following command (and nothing else) in the body of the message:
set distance rep
3. Please keep in mind that messages that you send to the listserv get sent to everyone subscribed to the listserv. If you reply to a message that was sent to the listserv, your reply will be sent to everyone who subscribed to the listserv. (Note: Some email programs make it appear that you are sending a reply to an individual, although it gets delivered to the listserv.)
If
you encounter a fire during this drill, download the troubleshooting guide (55 KB DOC file or 1.4 MB RTF file).
Each link opens a document that contains information for troubleshooting
typical problems.
If you have problems, send a message to EMT
Kelly for assistance. If you receive an error message, please send
a copy of the error message to her so that she can assist you more
effectively.
