NIST Net Mailing Lists

There are three mailing lists associated with NIST Net:
  1. nistnet-dev@antd.nist.gov This is the NIST Net Developer's mailing list. You can't subscribe to this list (unless, of course, you happen to be a NIST Net developer), but you are welcome to submit questions or bug reports to it.

  2. nistnet-bugs@antd.nist.gov This is the NIST Net alpha bug tracking list. At some point, I'm planning to put together some sort of "official" bug report form, but for now, just email your bug report in any old way. Here is a link to the current bug list/alpha status

  3. nistnet@antd.nist.gov This is the public NIST Net mailing list, for general discussion of NIST Net issues. Only list subscribers can send or receive mail on this list. You are invited to subscribe to the list when you request the NIST Net software. To subscribe or unsubscribe at any other point, send mail to nistnet-request@antd.nist.gov. (Again, send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to nistnet-request@antd.nist.gov. and not to the mailing list itself!!)

    nistnet@antd.nist.gov is a majordomo-administered mailing list. If you are not familiar with majordomo, click here for more information about it than you probably wanted to know. (Note: this is a link outside of NIST.) In brief, to make requests to the majordomo server, send a mail message to it with your request in the body of the message (not in the subject line!) Possible requests include:

    If you have trouble with the automated subscribe/unsubscribe interface, you can mail nistnet-dev@antd.nist.gov to have things fixed up manually. In particular, if your email address has changed, and you no longer have access to the old one in order to update your subscription, feel free to write to this address. (But again, please don't send such mail to the general list!)

    New! To answer another FAQ, I do have an archive of the mailing list. However, spammers have been actively harvesting mailing addresses from our servers, so I've got to sanitize it before making it publically available. This is on my "to do" list (which is another way of saying it isn't done yet...)

NIST Net mailing lists are for discussion of NIST Net-related topics only. Spamming or other off-topic posting may result in removal from the list.
