Messages are distributed to list members in one of two ways: immediate or digest. If a member chooses the immediate option, then the listserv sends the member a message when it receives it.  If a list member chooses digest option, the server stores all messages received each day and puts them into one email which is sent at the end of the day. The digest option reduces email clutter.

The listserv is a service provided by the Parent society. There is no cost for the service. The PA-AFS listserv will function in the manner as the Parent society listserv.  Rules for using the listserv are found below, Instructions for the listserv

The listerv functions to increase member to member interaction, allows for efficient Excomm to membership communication, and provides a benefit to being a Chapter member. Listserv functions will not replace the Newsletter or the existing email communication procedures (like this message); they provide a daily communication service. In many chapters, it is the standard for Chapter communication (but not for Excomm communication).

The list is under control of web services of the Parent society and the PA Chapter Listserv Coordinator.  A member of the services unit is a registered member of the list and monitors activity. The PA Chapter has a listserv coordinator that also monitors activity and will coordinate problem solving with the Parent Society web services section.

You can subscribe/unsubscribe as well as request a digest version (one daily message with all messages sent) if you prefer. To change your subscription, send an email to the following address:
      mdaemon@fisheries.org

• to un-subscribe, enter UNSUBSCRIBE PA-AFS in the body of the e-mail
• to subscribe, enter SUBSCRIBE PA-AFS in the body of the e-mail
• to receive a digested version, enter  DIGEST PA-AFS in the body of the e-mail.  You get a digest or compilation of messages sent to the list each day in a single message.

To post a message to the listserv simply send e-mail to:
      PA-AFS@fisheries.org

Your message will automatically be sent to everyone on the listserv.
