[7] A list of E-mail mailing lists, posted to the "Frequently Asked Questions" or FAQ part of the Usenet newsgroups.
A typical mailing list works like this: to join, say, a mailing list on politics, you send the request "subscribe" to "politics- request@whitehouse.gov". Thereafter, any message sent to "politics@whitehouse.gov" will send you message to all members of the list. You get all the postings from other members as well [The Whitehouse list on politics is a fake example].
Aside: Usenet newsgroup FAQ's are archived at "rtfm.mit.edu". They cover every conceivable subject (but are especially good with computers). To access the archive by E-mail, send the message "help" to "mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu". For an index of materials available, send the message "index".
Here are the specific commands for getting the Mailing Lists:
