Changing Your E-mail Delivery Options

Your e-mail delivery options (along with other user settings) can be changed by going to http://po.missouri.edu and logging in using your email address and password. The password must have already been obtained, so see the previous section on passwords. Click on Subscriber's Corner. You will see a login screen for entering your e-mail address and your current password. After clicking Login, you will see a screen that your password has been saved on your computer. Click follow this link. After login, you will see a screen with your current e-mail settings. You can change your e-mail settings on this screen by placing checkmarks in each category listed under Report Columns, then click on Submit. Please note that the choices reflect only those e-mail delivery options that are currently activated for The HSIRB Listserv. Click on each name for a definition of each column type. To make changes to your delivery options, you must have the corresponding column showing. Then use the column's drop-down box to change the setting, place a checkmark by the name of the listserv (in this case it is HSIRB-L), and then click Submit Changes.

Changing Your E-mail Address

To change your email address, go to http://www.research.missouri.edu/hsirb/subscribe.htm to unsubscribe, then use that same page to subscribe using the new email.

What If I Am Out-of-Office?

Automatic "out of office" or "vacation" messages are a nuisance for the other members of any web-based discussion forum. The HSIRB Listserv prevents these messages from being distributed to the entire list through automatically filtering and then discarding these messages before they are distributed to the entire list.

How Do I Send An Email To The Listserv?

Create an email like any other, using the email address HSIRB-L@po.missouri.edu and then your message will be sent to everyone. The default setting is that messages are sent out once per day in one combined email that has all of the messages combined into one email. This is to limit the number of emails you receive. Currently, the messages are not sent first to a moderator who reviews them for content. However, if misuse of the HSIRB Listserv becomes common, a moderator will be used.

Attachments To Messages

The HSIRB discourages subscribers from including attachments in your emails, as this can quickly fill subscribers' inboxes. Currently there is no rejection of attachments, but a filter can be implemented. The HSIRB office will occasionally send attachments, such as updated forms or newsletters.
