• Acknowledgement:
  • ACK (Acknowledgement)
  • NOACK (No acknowledgement)
• Reproduction :
  • REPRO (See own message)
  • NOREPRO (Don't see own message)

Acknowledgement setting

The Acknowledgement setting tells the Listserv computer whether or not to send you an acknowledgement whenever you send a message to the list. The setting options are ACK and NOACK. For instance, if you send a message with subject line "General Information", you can automatically get a message back from the Listserv computer that is something like: Your message dated XXX with subject "General Information" was successfully distributed to the XXX list.

Acknowledgement: To receive an automatic acknowledgement from the Listserv computer whenever you post a message to the list, send listserv@listserv.illinois.edu the following message:

set PIP-L ackNo acknowledgement: If you do not want to receive an acknowledgement, send listserv@listserv.illinois.edu the following message:

set PIP-L noack

Reproduction setting

The Reproduction setting tells the Listserv computer whether or not you want to see your own message posted to the list. The setting options are REPRO and NOREPRO.

See own message: If you want to see your own message posted to the list, send listserv@listserv.illinois.edu the following message:

set PIP-L repro

Don't see own message: If you do not want to see your own message posted to the list, send listserv@listserv.illinois.edu the following message:

set PIP-L norepro

It is a good idea to set one of these options "on" (i.e., ACK or REPRO) so that you can know that your own posting has been received by the list. There are default settings for these options for each Listserv list. Each list may have different default settings.
