We maintain several mailing lists for assorted purposes.


Lists

Email Address Purpose Powered by... Who's a member?
southsidehackers@googlegroups.com Public discussion group about SSH:C Google Groups Anyone that sends in a request
sshc-members@groups.sshchicago.org Active SSH:C Member Discussion GNU Maillman All active members of SSH:C
board@groups.sshchicago.org SSH:C Board and Administration members GNU Mailman All active administrative and board members.

All members can send messages to board@groups.sshchicago.org if they would like to contact the board directly.

FAQ

Why am I not seeing my own replies to the list sent back to me through the list?

You're probably using Gmail or Google Apps. Gmail handles mailing list traffic in a specific manner as a convenience, and does not show the message the mailing list sends back to you.
