No password required!
(All changes on this form require a reply confirmation message from your Email account.)
The most popular options for receiving Listserv messages is whether you wish to receive these Email messages in a steady stream when
they are sent ("Regular" format) or if you want them batched into a
single, larger, message that only arrives once or a few times per day.
("Digest" format.)
Need Assistance?- Ask a
List Administrator,
and we will set you up with your subscription or change settings for your current subscription.
Please specify if you want Regular or Digest format with your subcription request.
We also need the Email Address to use with the Listserv, and any (optional) User Name you may want to have.
Send a message with your own Email system FROM the address you wish to Subscribe, using the link below:
admin@moderation.org
Complete Method- Creating an account with our provider, ICORS.ORG,
can be helpful. There are additional features only available to ICORS subscribers.
Once this account is created, you can then use their interface to subscribe to MMLIST, our Listserv service with Icors.org.
We have a User's Guide for this complete process,
in Web Page HTML Format - listserv.shtml
And in Acrobat PDF Format: listserv.pdf
(Note that creating a ICORS.ORG account will also enable you to make your own changes to your subscription settings.)
We also have a Guide to RETURNING to ICORS.ORG after you have created this login-
(This was identified as a problem by some users.)

How does the Listserv Work?
Once you are subscribed, you may "post" messages to the listserv from your subscribed Email Address
by sending Email to our Listserv at:
mmlist@listserv.icors.org
And the system will send messages to your Email account during the day, according to your preferences.
NOTE: The Listserv has some difficulty sending messages to certain Email services.
If offered with your Email service, please consider whitelisting our main address:
mmlist@listserv.icors.org
Some Email services, however, insist on blocking our Listserv service or record incoming messages as possible "SPAM"
simply because these messages are coming from a single Internet address that is sending a large number of Email messages.
If you are having unusual problems receiving Listserv Messages, contact us at admin@moderation.org,
and we will work with you and your Email service to try to resolve the issue.
You may also want to inform your Email Service Provider of the following important information:
mmlist@listserv.icors.org Listserv Messages are sent via the SMTP address of "209.119.0.145"
The DNS Address for this IP is: "lychee.ease.lsoft.com"
We have an opt-in, spam-free, completely legitimate listserv for a public health issue.
Our hosting service, ICORS.ORG, is themselves a non-profit that ONLY delivers listservs for health issues.
We have anti-bounce automated monitoring, and have ZERO spam.
We regularly check over 250 Anti-Spam lists for problems with this IP Address.
There are NO issues for this address with Spamcop, Spamhaus, SpamAssassin, or hundreds of similar services.
This address is used by a completely legitimate opt-in Listserv service, and should be Whitelisted on all Email providers.
Questions about our Listserv can be referred to: admin@moderation.org

When you join MM's national internet mailing list, it is not
unlike attending a live MM meeting. Some people describe it as a group meeting in
"slow motion". This is a great alternative for people who do not have MM groups
in their local communities, or who prefer on-line groups.
It is a place where you can share your experiences, successes, and challenges while
addressing drinking concerns. This list tends to include social interaction as well as
Moderation talk. When you first sign on, you may find that some of the posts have little
to do with drinking. Give it some time. Discussion always returns to what brought us here.
Many who have been on the list have found this "cyber-community" to be a welcome
place away from their real world surroundings, and off-topic posts have become an
important learning tool for restoring balance.
We trust you will find it a special place where you can meet new friends and discuss many
topics. It is our feeling that when you begin to deal with problem drinking, you also
start to deal with other life issues common among listmembers.
The Work Continues.
