IV Grad Mailing Lists

IV grad has several e-mail lists for different purposes. The following describes the lists and gives guidlines for their use.

ivgrad-announce

• This list is only for official announcements
• Average of one or two messages per week
• Only IVGrad Steering Committee can post

ivgrad

• This list is for such unofficial announcements as: prayer requests, social events, airport ride requests, events of interest to IVGrad membership, etc.
• All members subscribed to this list can post
• If you wish to send medium to large attachments, we would prefer that you post these on your own webspace and send IVGrad a link
• Not for discussion or queries about discussion topics

ivgrad-discuss

• This list is for all discussion and inquiries about any topic: theology, politics, philosophy, ethics, etc.
• All members subscribed to this list can post to it
• Postings to this list must be in the spirit of charity and a desire for true dialogue. "Flaming" or rude postings aimed at others may be grounds for removal from the list

General Guidelines

Please do not attempt to communicate with only one person or even a small number of people through these lists. We want to minimize the amount of unnecessary email in everyone's mailboxes. If in doubt about which list is appropriate for any given message, you can ask for guidance from ivgrad-steering[at]lists.stanford.edu.

How to Subscribe

To subscribe to a list, send an email with empty subject and empty body to <list_name>-subscribe@lists.stanford.edu (where <list_name> has been replaced with the particular list name). Similarly send an email to <list_name>-unsubscribe@lists.stanford.edu to be removed.

example:
ivgrad-announce-subscribe@lists.stanford.edu ivgrad-subscribe@lists.stanford.edu ivgrad-discuss-subscribe@lists.stanford.edu

You can subscribe to any number or combination of the lists above, but we strongly recommend that everyone subscribe to ivgrad-announce to keep up with official events.

By default, everyone who fills out an 'information card' or passes along their e-mail address is added to both ivgrad and ivgrad-announce. More information about Stanford lists can be found here.
