Some of these are very specialized, and at the end of this posting I list a number that are focused on the activities of specific localized clubs. To the best of my knowledge, all the lists appearing here have open membership policies. It is my policy not to list `closed' mailing lists here. The information in this listing is only as good as my informants; if a list stops working or moves, i will not necessarily be informed of it. The current version of this list is available via anonymous FTP: ftp://ftp.wizvax.net/pub/personal/rwelty/Autos/mailing-lists.text It is maintained by Richard Welty (rwelty@wizvax.net). Most mailing lists provide separate addresses for administrative queries and for general mail; where separate administrative addresses exist, I have listed those below, as the general addresses are not appropriate for inquirys and requests. Listserv, listproc & majordomo: these are the three most common automatic list handlers. Listserv and listproc take similar commands; majordomo is subtly different. commands for all three should be in the body of the mail message. a listserv/listproc request to join the honda list should look like the following: sub HONDA-L Joe. W. NewGuy note the real name. listserv/listproc will get the email address from the message header. a majordomo request to join the italian cars list should look like subscribe italian-cars-digest newGuy@aol.com note the email address and lack of real name. the email address is optional; if omitted, majordomo will extract the real name from the message header (this is often the best way to handle this.) ------------- Acura (see Honda list below) Acura NSX (send requests to majordomo@ganglion.anes.med.umich.edu; majordomo command is subscribe nsx) Alfa Romeo Digest (send requests to alfa-digest-request@digest.net; majordomo command is subscribe alfa-digest) AMC (American Motors Corporation) (send requests to listserv@scan.si.edu; the listserv command is subscribe amc-list Your Real Name Here) American Sedan (SCCA road race class, 5.0L Mustangs, Camaros, Firebirds) (send requests to asedan-request@stg.com) Audi (send requests to majordomo@coimbra.ans.net, command is subscribe quattro) Autocross/Solo (send requests to autox-request@autox.team.net, handled by majordomo) Autorace (autoracing, particularly NASCAR, F1, Indycar. also see wheeltowheel below for another interesting list. send requests to listserv@vtvm1.cc.vt.edu) Datsun Bluebird/1600/510 (send requests to bluebirds-request@bluebirds.ece.arizona.edu) BMW Digest (majordomo list; send requests to bmw-digest-request@digest.net) British Cars (send requests to majordomo@autox.team.net, command is subscribe british-cars) British Cars (pre-war) (send requests to majordomo@autox.team.net, command is subscribe british-cars-pre-war) Buick Grand National/Turbo Regal/GNX (send requests to gnttype-request@buick.monsanto.com) Camaro/Firebird (GM F-body) (send requests to majordomo@cisco.com, command is subscribe f-body-digest this address may no longer be correct) Chevy Beretta (send requests to majordomo@gatekey.com, command is subscribe beretta) Chevrolet Impala SS (94-96) (send requests to listproc@east.xsis.xerox.com, command is SUBSCRIBE IMPALA Joe Schmoe) Chevy & GMC Trucks (1947-1959) (send requests to majordomo@teleport.com, command is subscribe oletrucks-l your@email.address.here) Citroen 2cv (send requests to listproc@lists.missouri.edu, command is subscribe 2cv-l Fred Q.
