The easiest way to subscribe, unsubscribe, update your email address or adjust your configuration options is to use the web-based interface. The web page address for a given list has the list name on the end of it like this:
For example, here are the most common lists and their web pages:
| List | Web Page |
|---|---|
| ctuner | http://www.reyburn.com/mailman/listinfo/ctuner |
| rctupgrade | http://www.reyburn.com/mailman/listinfo/rctupgrade |
| macrct | http://www.reyburn.com/mailman/listinfo/macrct |
It is also possible to subscribe, unsubscribe, and do other things by sending email. For a list of email commands, send the word:
For example, here are the most common lists and their administrative email addresses:
| List | Administrative Email Address |
|---|---|
| ctuner | ctuner-request@reyburn.com |
| rctupgrade | rctupgrade-request@reyburn.com |
| macrct | macrct-request@reyburn.com |
The web pages allowing you to modify your list options, update your email address and unsubscribe require you to provide a list password. You are assigned a password for each list you are on, in order to prevent others from changing your configuration against your wishes.
The list passwords are mailed out in a "reminder" message once a month, but you may also have a reminder sent to you by email any time you like. To have the reminder sent, go to the information page for the list at the web address:
For example, here are the most common lists and their web pages:
| List | Web Page |
|---|---|
| ctuner | http://www.reyburn.com/mailman/listinfo/ctuner |
| rctupgrade | http://www.reyburn.com/mailman/listinfo/rctupgrade |
| macrct | http://www.reyburn.com/mailman/listinfo/macrct |
Scroll to the bottom of the page, enter your email address, then click the button labeled Unsubscribe or edit options. The resulting options page will offer to email you a password reminder (look for the button labeled Email My Password To Me).
Finally, once you have your password, you may use the same options page
to disable the monthly password reminder if you so desire.
The ctuner list is focused on RCT and piano tuning, and using computers in the piano tuning profession. Even though RCT runs on several types of
computers, questions about how to use a specific operating system are best reserved for other forums unless they relate directly to RCT.
Disparaging other tuning devices on the ctuner list is discouraged.
Are you brand new to using RCT? (less than 30 days?) If so its usually best to contact RPS, Inc support directly with "newbie" RCT problems or questions. Please use our support web form at http://www.reyburn.com/support.html
The rctupgrade list does not allow discussion but is for official RCT upgrade notices only.
The macrct list is primarily for discussion specific to running RCT on MacOS, but is also for general discussion of topics specific both the piano tuning and Macintosh.
Very little moderation is needed on our lists, most users stick to the subject fairly closely.

If you are receiving rejection notices when you try to post to the list it is probably because the list software does not think you are subscribed. You must be subscribed to post to the RPS, Inc. mailing lists. This restriction cuts down very heavily on unwanted SPAM posts. If you think you are subscribed and need help, send mail to:
If you were hoping to post to the list without subscribing, you might
consider subscribing as described in answer #2 above,
and then disabling message delivery as described in answer #8
above. Note that you can choose to hide the fact that you are subscribed
from others (using the options page).
All of the on-line archives are searchable to subscribers. Use the form at the top-level
of the archive. For example, here are the most popular archive pages:
| List | Archive Page |
|---|---|
| ctuner | http://www.reyburn.com/mailman/private/ctuner |
| rctupgrade | http://www.reyburn.com/mailman/private/rctupgrade |
| macrct | http://www.reyburn.com/mailman/private/macrct |
The search index is re-generated every night, so you may not be able to
search for messages that were posted the same day.
Several things could cause delays. The two most likely delays are:
Messages require approval by the list manager if they contain words like "subscribe" or "unsubscribe" at the top. This avoids the very common annoyance of someone sending these requests to the entire list. Once the list manager determines the message should really go out on the list, it is approved.
If you think your message has been dropped or delayed an unusual amount of time, DON'T SEND MORE MAIL OUT TO THE LIST! This just causes a wave of "is the list working?" messages. Be patient! You can always contact admin@reyburn.com for more detailed status.
The list software disallows any posts which contain "executable" attachments. These are attachments with names ending with .exe, .bat, .pif, or any others from a large list of dangerous suffixes. Since this is the most common way for an email-virus to spread, it is unlikely (but not impossible!) you got the virus from the list. Keep in mind that email worms and virus programs are pretty clever about digging up addresses they find on your machine. They look through your Inbox, mail archives, etc. and glean addresses from those places. Anyone can set any return address they like on an email and email worms take advantage of this fact to forge messages from other people and mailing lists.
So obviously any filtering we try to do to the lists is not foolproof. The best solution is to run virus protection software on your machine and keep it up to date!
If you believe you received a virus from an RPS, Inc. mailing list, send mail
to
admin@reyburn.com and we
will promptly look into it. Please forward the offending message
to us, complete with all headers if possible.
Forcing posters to be subscribed to the list, and forcing a
"confirmation" step to subscribe to a list has greatly cut down
on SPAM posts. In addition, we filter out many of the most common SPAM
patterns and addresses. The amount of SPAM sent to the lists, and rejected,
each day is significant, but of course some SPAM may still get through. Please just
delete it, and know that the list administrators are monitoring the lists
and adjusting SPAM filters as appropriate. Don't give the spammers the
satisfaction of a reply or a conversation on the list about their post.
For approximately five years, the reyburn.com server used manually managed mail
aliases. These served us well for many years but in
September of 2002 we switched to Mailman
to take advantage of the web interface and distributed management features.
Some of the archives show strange dates (like the years 2004, 1904, etc)
because people actually posted mail with those dates in the Date:
header. All new posts are sanity checked so that strange dates are ignored.
Fixing the dates in the old posts is a labor intensive process
and will be done little-by-little as time permits.
