Did that message make it to the list?

From the NHAIS Help Desk inbox:

So - I'm wondering, if I send a message to the ILL listserv (nhais-ill@maillist2.nh.gov), is there a way for me, as the sender of the post, to confirm that it actually showed up on the listserv? ...since I don't get a copy of my own message in my own inbox. Sometimes a post is greeted with mossy silence and I don't know if it's because it didn't actually get posted or because no-one has anything to say about it 

The default for all e-mail lists maintained by NHAIS Services is for subscribers to receive their own posts to the list but it's possible to change that. You can check the settings for your list subscription by logging into your account and looking under Your [Listname] Subscription Options for "Receive your own posts to the list?" If it's already set to Yes, check your own inbox to see if there's a rule that’s routing your messages elsewhere.

But wait...how do you log into your account? Go to the "Listinfo" page and enter your subscribed address and password. What's the "Listinfo" page? It's different for each list:
NHAIS-L:  https://maillist2.nh.gov/mailman/listinfo/nhais-l
NHAIS-ILL:  https://maillist2.nh.gov/mailman/listinfo/NHAIS-ILL
yardsaleNHAIS:  https://maillist2.nh.gov/mailman/listinfo/YardsaleNHAIS

How do you find your password? Near the bottom of the "Listinfo" page, enter your subscribed address next to the Unsubscribe or edit options button, then click the button.

On the next page, find the Password reminder section and click the Remind button to have a password sent to your subscribed address.

No matter what the settings, one way you can confirm that your message was posted is to check that it appears in the list archives. This also involves going to the "Listinfo" page, at the top of which is an About [Listname] section which ends with a link to the archives. Click the link and log in.

List issue fixed

The issue affecting management of NHSL e-mail lists yesterday has been fixed. The small backlog of messages sent from non-subscribed addresses has been reviewed, approved, and posted. Pages allowing users to submit subscription requests, manage existing subscriptions, or check the archives are available again. Links to the pages can found at https://www.nhsl.dncr.nh.gov/librarians-library-staff/listservs. Instructions for viewing the archives are at https://nhais.blogspot.com/2020/05/viewing-list-archives.html.
