    36 
    37 <para>The blfs-support list is for the BLFS Book and beyond.</para>
    38 
    39 <para>It includes requests for help following the BLFS Book,
    40 requests for help with packages not (yet) in
    41 either the LFS Book or the BLFS Book,
    42 and other requests and discussion concerning software
    43 that might be installed on an LFS system.</para>
    44 
    45 <para>It does not include topics such as
    46 the price of beer, what hardware to buy,
    47 or GNU versus BSD or Microsoft versus Linux flame wars.
    48 These belong on lfs-chat,
    49 and since blfs-support is high traffic,
    50 please follow this rule strictly.</para>

    68 of interest to the Book's users take place on blfs-dev, not here.</para>

    75 <para>The lfs-chat list is the place for community chatter.
    76 It's a place where anything goes, nothing is off-topic.
    77 You can discuss the price of beer or what hardware to buy.
    78 Even GNU versus BSD and Microsoft versus Linux flame wars
    79 are okay in lfs-chat.</para>

    146 <title>How to subscribe?</title>
    147 
    148 <para>Any of the above-mentioned mailing lists can be subscribed to by
    149 sending an email to <ulink
    150 url="mailto:listar@linuxfromscratch.org">listar@linuxfromscratch.org</ulink>
    151 and writing <emphasis>subscribe listname</emphasis> as the subject
    152 header of the message.</para>
    153 
    154 <para>Multiple lists at the same time can be subscribed to by using
    155 one email. This is done by leaving the subject blank and putting all the
    156 commands in the body of the email. The email will look like:</para>
    157 
    158 <blockquote><literallayout>To: listar@linuxfromscratch.org
    159 Subject:
    160 
    161 subscribe lfs-dev
    162 subscribe blfs-support
    163 subscribe alfs-discuss</literallayout></blockquote>
    164 
    165 <para>After the email is sent, the Listar program will reply with an
    166 email requesting a confirmation of the subscription request. After
    167 this confirmation email is sent back, Listar will send an
    168 email again with the message that the user has been subscribed to the
    169 list(s) along with an introduction message for that particular
    170 list.</para>

    175 <title>How to unsubscribe?</title>
    176 
    177 <para>To unsubscribe from a list, send an email
    178 to <ulink url="mailto:listar@linuxfromscratch.org">listar@linuxfromscratch.org
    179 </ulink> and write <emphasis>unsubscribe listname</emphasis> as the subject
    180 header of the message.</para>
    181 
    182 <para>Multiple lists can be unsubscribed at the same time
    183 using one email. This is done by leaving the subject header blank and
    184 putting all the commands in the body of the email. The email will look
    185 like: </para>
    186 
    187 <blockquote><literallayout>To: listar@linuxfromscratch.org
    188 Subject:
    189 
    190 unsubscribe lfs-dev
    191 unsubscribe blfs-support
    192 unsubscribe alfs-discuss</literallayout></blockquote>
    193 
    194 <para>After the email is sent, the Listar program will reply with an
    195 email requesting a confirmation of the unsubscription
    196 request. After this confirmation email is sent back, Listar will
    197 send an email again with the message that the user has been unsubscribed
    198 from the list(s).</para>

    203 <title>Other list modes</title>
    204 
    205 <para>The modes that can be set by a user require sending an email to
    206 <ulink
    207 url="mailto:listar@linuxfromscratch.org">listar@linuxfromscratch.org</ulink>.
    208 The modes themselves are set by writing
    209 the appropriate commands in the subject header of the message.</para>
    210 
    211 <para>As the name implies, the <emphasis>Set command</emphasis> tells
    212 what
    213 to write to set a mode. The <emphasis>Unset command</emphasis> tells
    214 what to write to unset a mode.</para>
    215 
    216 <para>The listname in the example subject headers should be replaced
    217 with the
    218 listname to which
    219 the mode is going to be applied to. If more than one mode is to be set
    220 (to
    221 the same list or multiple lists) with one email, this can be done by
    222 leaving the subject header blank and writing all the commands in the
    223 body of
    224 the message instead.</para>

    232 Set command: <emphasis>set listname digest</emphasis>
    233 Unset command: <emphasis>unset listname digest</emphasis>
    234 </literallayout>
    235 
    236 <para>All lists have the digest mode available which can be set after a
    237 user
    238 has subscribed to a list. Being in digest mode will
    239 cause you to stop receiving individual messages as they are posted to
    240 the list and instead receive one email a day containing all
    241 the messages posted to the list during that day.</para>
    242 
    243 <para>There is a second digest mode called digest2. When a user is set
    244 to this
    245 mode he will receive the daily digests but will also continue to
    246 receive the individual messages to the lists as they are posted. To
    247 set this mode, substitute <emphasis>digest</emphasis> for
    248 <emphasis>digest2</emphasis> in the command.</para>

    257 Unset command: <emphasis>unset listname vacation</emphasis>
    258 </literallayout>
    259 
    260 <para>If a user is going to be away for a while or wishes to stop
    261 receiving
    262 messages from the lists but doesn't want to unsubscribe, he can change
    263 to vacation mode. This has the same effect as unsubscribing,
    264 but without having to go through the unsubscribe process and
    265 then later through the subscribe process again.</para>
