Tip # 5 - Submissions o Nmusers Mailing List - Spam Prevention and "File Too Long" Problems :


Questions dealing with the development and use of models or other data analysis issues can be addressed to the nmusers network (nmusers@globomaxnm.com). However, the nmusers mailing list only accepts submissions from those who subscribe to the list. This prevents you from receiving tons of "spam" - unwanted emails for toner-cartridges, mortgage companies, stock brokers, and offers to improve your sex life. This means the mail account you send the submission from must be the one you subscribed from. If you are having your mail "forwarded" to you from another account and then try to respond from the forwarded account, nmusers will not accept it.

Also, if you applied under one name and your company changed your account name but still forwards mail sent to the original name (the one nmusers has) to your new name (where you get the nmusers mail), you also won't see your posts on nmusers. So, if you don't see your post, you can e-mail Bill Bachman to update your e-mail address that nmusers sees as the "official" nmusers address. The other potential problem you may encounter with the nmusers list is by sending ".doc" of ".pdf" files. Our server has a limit on the length of the e-mails you may submit and these application files can drastically increase the size (particularly if they include graphics). For best results, send your information as ASCII text (and all within the body of the message).
