Below are some tips to using the new ListServe:

•       To post a message to the new List, address your email to: massmunilaw@socialaw.com.

•       Your message will then automatically be forwarded to everyone on the List.

•       You must be “subscribed” to List in order to be able to send messages to the List or to receive messages
sent by others to the List.

•       All messages sent out by the List are sent to one address at a time to avoid spam filters.

•       To reply to a message posted on the List, you must choose “Reply-to-All”; but if your reply is meant exclusively to the Sender, simply select “Reply”.

•       Send a message to admin@massmunilaw.org for all administrative matters, or to request to be “unsubscribed”
to the List.

•       Remember that messages sent to our former List (cstca@cs.umb.edu) will no longer be posted or sent to
others.

•       Care should exercised in spelling the web-address of the new List; “socialaw” is spelled with one “l”, and the domain is “com” not “org.”

If you have any questions about this transition, please send an email to:  admin@massmunilaw.org
