Additional note on Subscription process 2004-03-23 - By Christine Charette
Back
In my original mail, I suggested you use the phrase 'Subscribe/Unsubscribe so
and so' in the subject line of the email. It turns out that that is
interpreted as a command by Majordomo and your mail gets bounced from the list.
Thanks Fabrice for pointing that out to us!
So here's a new swanky phrase to use: 'Request to Subscribe/Unsubscribe so and
so'
Sorry for the additional bandwidth,
Christine

Hello everyone,
On March 24th we will be launching a new product - the XSI EXP for Half-Life 2
- a free EXP variant designed to allow Half-Life players and enthusiasts to
modify props, models, and characters for the Half-Life 2 game non-commercially.
There's a lot of interest and we anticipate rapid growth in the user community
associated with this product, and are expecting over 250,000 downloads in the
first few weeks. As a result, we've decided to take some measures to ensure
that the services we offer to the commercial (paid) user community are affected
as little as possible.
To that end, beginning this Wednesday and for the immediate future, the mailing
list subscription procedure for all principle mailing lists will change.
Automated open subscription will be closed, and in order to have a new email
account subscribed or unsubscribed, it will now be necessary to have an
existing list member post a request to the list. Simply post a message to the
list with the phrase 'Subscribe/Unsubscribe so and so' in the subject line of
the email and we will follow-up.
Lists affected include: xsi@(protected), 3d@(protected), 3dgames@(protected)
.com, and discussion@(protected)
This change is preventative, and is intended to ensure that we can continue to
offer a high quality of service and preserve the existing community of XSI
users. We apologize for any inconvenience, and hope that this change has
minimal impact on you all.
Thanks,
Christine
