This page offers basic information if you are experiencing any technical difficulties with the email list. Please check to see if your question is answered below.

You are always welcome to email Craig for help on ozguys@ftmaustralia.org

How do I join the FTM Australia email list?

  1. Become a member of FTM Australia - Click here for membership information

  2. Send a blank email to: ozguys-subscribe@yahoogroups.com or join at the egroups website: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ozguys/

  3. Send an email to ozguys@ftmaustralia.org with a short introduction about yourself including approx. where in Australia or NZ you're at. This is will be your introduction to the rest of the group.

It won't be long before you hear back about your subscription.

How do I post a message?

Sending an email message to a mailing list is no different to sending email to a friend. However, when you send an email message to a mailing list, every member on the group gets a copy.

The email address for the group is OzGuys@yahoogroups.com

Please put a short description of your message content in the SUBJECT line of your email. This allows people to skip over topics that they don't wish to read. The subject will also let other members know what your post is about.

It is assumed that you have read and understood the Guidelines.

How do I change my email or my subscription?

If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), please visit the OzGuys homepage - sign in and click on "Edit Membership".

I have sent a message to the email list, but it didn't appear. Why?

One of the following has occurred
  • You might not be a list member.
  • You might be emailing from a different email address than the one you subscribed with.
  • You sent an email that looked like a spam mail.
  • Your email is still travelling to the list.
  • Your email message might have breached the Guidelines. If so, Craig will be in touch.

I'm an FTM Australia member, why aren't I on the list?

It is up to you to subscribe youself to the email list.

I thought I was on the list. What happened?

One of the following could happened
  • Your email address changed.
  • Your email address was bouncing
  • Your 'out of office' or 'vacation' message was turned on and we received multiple emails from you
  • You breached the Guidelines for the third time and have been removed from the group.

I've subscribed but I am not receiving any messages.

  • Double check your email and make sure that you replied to the confirmation email sent to you from Yahoo!groups. You must reply to the confirmation email in order to complete your subscription.
  • Doublecheck your e-mail address is the one you entered to join the list.
  • If none of these solutions work, email Craig for help.

How do I get messages in digest format?

  • If you want to turn digest mode on or off please visit the FTM Australia webpage
    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ozguys/.
  • Click on "Edit Membership". You can change the way you receive emails under the "Message Delivery" heading.
  • If that doesn't work for you, email Craig for help.

I want to get single emails as they are posted - how do I make this change?

  • If you want to turn digest mode on or off please visit the FTM Australia webpage
    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ozguys/.
  • Click on "Edit Membership". You can change the way you receive emails under the "Message Delivery" heading.
  • If that doesn't work for you, email Craig for help.

My email is coming through okay - but when I try to post I'm told I'm not a member. What's wrong?

  • It sounds like you're trying to post to the list with an email address different from what you joined the group with.
  • Otherwise, something may have changed in your email address.
    Sometimes your Internet Service Provider (ISP) can make a slight change to your email address, for example from YourName@server.com.au to YourName@server.com
  • Even though your ISP is making sure you get your email, the egroups system doesn't recognise you any more.
  • Sometimes this means you need to re-subscribe under the new email address.

I've unsubscribed but still keep getting emails from the group.

  • You might have subscribed under two different email address. Make sure you've unsubscribed from all the email addresses you have subscribed with.

Someone I don't want to talk to has emailed me.

  • If you have had email contact from someone in the group you don't want contact from, usually by not replying to them will be enough.
  • If that doesn't work, and you've already asked them not to contact you, email Craig for help.

I still have an list problem that's not answered above.

  • You are welcome to email Craig for help with a description of the problem.
  • Please forward an example of the problem email as an attachment.
