The IAAC lists (was Re: Problem with aliases? (was: (IAAC) Obj: NGC6645 ...))

[Lewis J. Gramer]

Apologies if the following information is "administrivia"
to some of our readers. If you are confused by any of the
following, feel free to simply ignore this message...

TWO LISTS
=========
To answer Ante's (and Jan's) question, the IAAC is really
TWO different email lists:
  a "chat" or "announce" list, for discussion on general
  deep-sky topics, and special announcements;
and:
  an "observations ONLY" list, for individual deep-sky logs

Everyone who subscribes to IAAC subscribes to BOTH of these
lists: There is no way to receive just one of the two lists.

CHAT
====
You can post to the "chat" list by sending email to EITHER:
  netastrocatalog-announce at visualdeepsky.org
OR to:
  chat at visualdeepsky.org
Email sent to EITHER address will go to ALL subscribers. (So
don't send to BOTH addresses - your post will be duplicated!)

LOGS
====
You can post to the "logs" list by sending email to EITHER:
  netastrocatalog at visualdeepsky.org
OR to:
  logs at visualdeepsky.org
Email sent to either address will go to ALL subscribers, and
will ALSO be entered into our observing log archive at:
  http://www.visualdeepsky.org/logs/objectlist.html



Note that I will be broadcasting a set of "posting guidelines"
for BOTH of the above lists in the next day or so... Keep your
eyes out for that message, and clear skies to all!

Hi, people
I really need some clarification here.
Few weeks ago, Lewis Gramer told me to send all of my logs to logs at visualdeepsky.org, as can be seen here:

Just a short note, Ante... NONE of these observing posts
has been entered in our IAAC observing archive: you sent
them all to our *Chat* address, not our logs address...
To post observing logs (and ONLY LOGS), use this address:
   netastrocatalog at visualdeepsky.org
or you can choose to use this easier-to-remember alias:
   logs at visualdeepsky.org
For discussion or questions about observing, announcements,
etc., send your email instead to this address:
   netastrocatalog-announce at visualdeepsky.org
or you can this convenient alias also:
   chat at visualdeepsky.org
....
Since then, I sent all of my logs to logs at visualdeepsky.org and nobody complained! At the bottom of my original mail (see below)
that caused this discussion You can find "To: IAAC <logs at visualdeepsky.org>".
I'm really really confused.
Can someone clarify this for me? Are You sure IAAC server is configured properly?
Clear skies,
Ante Perkovic

Ante,
You are sending your observations to the wrong adress. You have to send them
to: netastrocatalog at visualdeepsky.org
and NOT (as you do, if I have seen it right) to:
netastrocatalog-announce at visualdeepsky.org , because then they go to all
listmembers individually and not to the catalog.
BTW, I see no problem in receiving logs individually. I received all the logs that other people submitted last few days, so it must
be standard procedure.
