If you wish to subscribe another address instead (such as a local redistribution list), you can use a command of the form (in the body of the message):

subscribe ipng other-address@your_site.your_net

If you expect to be sending contributions to the list from multiple addresses, please notify ipng-owner@sunroof.eng.sun.com of *all* addresses you expect to post from. Only postings from known subscribers are re-distributed to the list without human intervention. (This is to prevent mail loops.)
