Cable List Modes

The SCTE-List uses Listserv list software. Documentation can be found on the server lists.scte.org

TelecomReg List subscriptions can be in any of five modes:

  1. ack you get individual messages as each is sent; you get copies of your own messages.
  2. noack you get individual messages as each is sent; you do not get copies of your own messages.
  3. digest you get all the messages for an entire day (or until a 64,000 byte threshold is reached) assembled into a single message; each individual post is in the form of an attached file using MIME protocol; This may look better with a newer e-mail program, like Netscape Communicator or Microsoft Outlook.
  4. digest-nomime you get all the messages for an entire day (or until a 64,000 byte threshold is reached) assembled into a single message; each individual post is combined into a single, plain-text message, not as attached files.
  5. postpone you get no messages; you may still post messages, but will not see a copy of your message come back from list; good for vacation or extended absence. To end postpone, set one of the other modes.
To change mode, use the command
set <listname> mail <mode>
to the listserver at
listserver@relay.doit.wisc.edu
