SkullSpace provides a mailing list for anybody involved with the CyberNEXS project.

To subscribe, simply email [mailto:cybernxs@lists.skullspace.ca cybernxs@lists.skullspace.ca] with a blank email and follow the instructions. To reply publicly to an email, use the "reply all" feature in your mail client; to reply privately, use "reply" or "reply to sender" in your mail client.

Emails can be sent to all lists with commands and arguments in the email body. Multiple commands can be sent, provided they're set one per line. The following commands can be used:

This page is for the CyberNEXS project, and how SkullSpace can help out.

So far, we've set up a mailing list for the project. Instructions on its usage are below.

Mailing List

SkullSpace members have volunteered to assist participants in the Manitoba Cyber Defense Challenge (CyberNXS). Standard technical support will be provided free of charge by SkullSpace members. This is done on a volunteer basis. SkullSpace provides an email list which is open to anyone involved with the CyberNEXS project.


Subscribing

To subscribe to the SkullSpace CyberNXS mailing list, send an email to cybernxs-subscribe@lists.skullspace.ca. The list manager will respond, asking you to confirm your intention to subscribe. Simply reply to the confirmation email and you will be subscribed.

Posting

To post a message to the mailing list, simply send an email to cybernxs@lists.skullspace.ca. NOTE: You must be subscribed in order to do this.

Messages sent to the mailing list address will be distributed to everyone who is subscribed. This will include SkullSpace volunteers as well as staff, administration ans students participating in the program. Likewise, using the "reply all" feature in your email client when responding to messages received through the list will send your reply to everyone. If you only wish to direct a response to the sender rather than the entire group, please be sure to use the "reply" or "reply to sender" function in your email client.

Unsubscribing

To unsubscribe from the mailing list, send an email to cybernxs-request@lists.skullspace.ca with the subject "unsubscribe"
