I had many replies to this, thanks to all. The consensus of opinion was to
use the Info-VAX-Request_at_Mvb.Saic.Com mailing list. I did have a couple of
other suggestions, so I'll will summarise them below, together with some
more details on the above mailing list.
Thanks again,
Dave.

Mailing Lists
The address for subscription requests, as well as notes intended for the
moderator, is Info-VAX-Request_at_Mvb.Saic.Com. Subscription requests are
handled
automatically by a mail server. This mail server ignores the subject line
and
processes each line of the message as a command. The syntax for subscribing
and unsubscribing and setting digest or non-digest modes is:
SUBSCRIBE INFO-VAX (ADD is a valid synonym)
UNSUBSCRIBE INFO-VAX (REMOVE, SIGNOFF, and SIGN-OFF are valid synonyms)
SET INFO-VAX DIGEST (to receive in Digest format)
SET INFO-VAX NODIGEST (to receive each message individually)
Case is irrelevant and attempts to fetch a copy of the mailing list will be
rejected (I consider the information to be confidential). Any message not
understood by the mailserver will be forwarded to a human (allegedly) for
manual processing.
