Find the section titled "Subscribing to the New Groups.io Mailing List"
To Subscribe To The [SsgPrivate] Yahoo Group:
Step 1:
Warning: You're NOT subscribed yet. You MUST complete Step 2.
Step 1:
- Send a blank email (no subject or body is necessary) to
ssgPrivate-subscribe@yahoogroups.com . This initiates your subscription.
- Yahoo will send you a "request for confirmation" email. You'll receive it anywhere from several minutes, to a day later.
Warning: You're NOT subscribed yet. You MUST complete Step 2.
- Find the "request for confirmation" email in your inbox
- Then just hit the REPLY button. This CONFIRMS your request to join the group.
Step 3:
- Notify the mailing list volunteer (James Ingram) that you have completed Steps 1 and 2.
- He will need to APPROVE your membership request -- since this is a PRIVATE Yahoo group.
- The Yahoo Group will automatically subscribe the address from which it receives the blank email (after your request is approved).
- You will receive a confirmation message, plus a "new members message".
Here's the Yahoo Help page that explains the "foribidden addresses":
