Sextant Mailing List

Welcome to 'sextant' Mailing List. This mailing list is a free group messaging service that provides a way of bringing together members that can join in a secure, spam-protected environment in which privacy is assured.

Each message sent by a member to the list address is automatically retransmitted as a posting to all group members, including the original author.  Group members receive each posting as an e-mail message and can reply.  These replies are likewise retransmitted to all group members, and so create a genuine conversation on which all participants can listen in.

All messages delivered as postings are stored in a chronological archive at the group’s archive. Please note that postings are welcome in either French or English.

Please take some time to read the Mailing List Rules and Confidentiality Policy. Subscribers to this list are advised that, by default, certain personal information, including eMail address, may be made available to all registered members through the "who" command, which returns a list of all registered users. Do not forget to issue  the command to hide on the member list if preferred (see below). Of course if you post to this list a message, your address will be present in the header of the message.

Please note that by default a new subscriber will be visible in the list any subscriber can obtain with the 'who' command. 

For all question concerning this list, please send an eMail to:
