0: Send DEC Alpha AXP management queries and summaries to
alpha-osf-managers_at_ornl.gov.
1: This list is NOT moderated! Every message that is sent to the
list will be passed on to every member of the list (with a few
small exceptions).
2: This mailing list is managed by a utility called Majordomo. You
can subscribe to the list by sending a message like:
subscribe alpha-osf-managers
to Majordomo_at_ornl.gov. Likewise, if you want to remove yourself
from the list, send the message:
unsubscribe alpha-osf-managers
to the same address.
For a complete list of Majordomo commands, use the command:

3: This list is intended to be a quick-turnaround troubleshooting
aid for those who administer and manage Alpha AXP systems runnning
Digital UNIX (formerly OSF/1). Its primary purpose is to provide
the Alpha manager with a quick source of information for
time-critical system management problems.
4: Answers to questions are to be mailed back to the questioner and
are NOT to be sent to the entire list. The person who originally
asked the question has the responsibility of summarizing the
answers and sending the entire summary back to the list. When a
summary is sent back to the list, it should contain the word
"SUMMARY" as the first word of the "Subject" line.
5: Discussions on ANY topic are very strongly discouraged and will
not normally be tolerated.
6: If it is not specifically related to Alpha AXP/Digital UNIX
management, then it does NOT belong on this list. Requests for
vendor recommendations are tolerated, provided that the product
in question is something that system managers normally purchase.
7: Requests for software (free or otherwise) should be limited to
software that is directly related to Alpha/OSF management.
8: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...Think before you send a message! Ask
yourself "is this really appropriate?" There are enough other
newsgroups and mailing lists around to cover the marginal topics.
Perhaps there is another forum that is more appropriate.
