For questions and concerns relating to the list, please contact: [Mailto:bac.coorddeliste-listcoord.lac@canada.ca bac.coorddeliste-listcoord.lac@canada.ca] .
For questions and concerns relating to the list, please contact: [Mailto:bac.coorddeliste-listcoord.lac@canada.ca bac.coorddeliste-listcoord.lac@canada.ca] .
You may also use the listserv web interface to configure your user profile, to use basic listserv commands and to search discussion list archives. Please visit: <nowiki>https://listserv.collectionscanada.gc.ca/cgi-bin/wa</nowiki> .
To send a message to all of the people currently subscribed to the list, just send mail to [[Mailto:PFAN-L@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA|PFAN-L@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA]], which is called the list address. You must never try to send any command to that address, as it would be distributed to all the people who have subscribed. All commands must be sent to [[Mailto:LISTSERV@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA|LISTSERV@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA]], which is the LISTSERV address. It is important to understand the difference between the two.
You may leave the list at any time by sending a "SIGNOFF PFAN-L" command to [[Mailto:LISTSERV@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA|LISTSERV@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA]]. You can also tell LISTSERV how you want it to confirm the receipt of messages you send to the list. To send yourself a copy of your own messages, send a "SET PFAN-L REPRO" command.
Alternatively, to have LISTSERV send you a short acknowledgement instead of the entire message, send a "SET PFAN-L ACK NOREPRO" command. Finally, you can turn off acknowledgements completely with the "SET PFAN-L NOACK NOREPRO" command.
PFAN-L uses a UNIX-based LISTSERV software. Information about advanced commands for LISTSERV can be retrieved by sending the following message:
To: LISTSERV@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA
Message: '''INFO REFCARD'''
