Texas A&M ProComm

Texas A&M ProComm is a professional organization open to all communicators

Listserv

ProComm will utilize this social networking site as the primary method of communication about upcoming events, disseminating information, and sharing resources. However, there is a campus communicators listserv, which will be used as a second method of contact. So, we encourage members to join that listserv in order to be well informed. If interested, visit the Texas A&M University Listserv Management System to sign up for the listserv. The archives are public.

Listserv Help

What's my Listserv password?

Listserv has its own password management scheme, which has nothing to do with your NetID or departmental user account. If you have not used Listserv before, you probably don't have one at all. Just have Listserv send you a password reminder; it will create one and email it to you.

Why was my post rejected?

This almost always happens because you're subscribed to the list using one address (usually your generic @tamu.edu), but your From: address is something else (some longer departmental address). Listserv is, alas, too stupid to realize that both addresses belong to you.

There are two ways to solve this. Go to the list subscription page and do either of the following:

1. Unsubscribe your @tamu.edu address and subscribe again using your departmental one.
2. (Preferred) Subscribe again using your departmental address (leaving your @tamu.edu subscription alone). Check the box marked "Mail delivery disabled temporarily [NOMAIL]" so you don't get two copies of every message. Listserv defines "temporarily" as "until you come back and tell us otherwise," so this setting will remain in effect unless you change it.

Option #2 is preferred because it will allow you to post to the list using either address, and because -- if you receive messages at the @tamu.edu address and set your departmental one to NOMAIL -- you'll still have a working account on the list if you change jobs within A&M, or if your server admins change your departmental address.

If you have any further problems posting to the list after subscribing with your departmental address, please let the list managers know.
