How To Send Messages To SCLA-LIST

The most confusing things about mailing lists is that there two different addresses. The "mailing list server" address handles the administrative functions for the list. The "list" address (in this case SCLA-LIST) is the address you use to post messages to the list.

To post a message on the SCLA-LIST, send an email message to:

"SCLA-LIST@sunysuffolk.edu".

Messages will usually be posted immediately, but there are may be unforeseen circumstances where it might take a day or two. If your message is not posted within a couple of days, resend it. You can only send messages if you are subscribed to the list!
