How do I subscribe to the djbdns mailing list?

Brian Coogan,

The mailing list is well worth joining if you really want to understand 
djbdns although it is relatively busy at between 1-30 messages per day.
The mailing list is described officially at 
http://cr.yp.to/lists.html#dns and you can subscribe from there.
You can also join the mailing list by sending an empty mail to dns-
subscribe@list.cr.yp.to.  Unsubscribing works similarly by sending an 
empty mail to dns-unsubscribe@list.cr.yp.to.
Once you have carefully read the available documentation you can ask 
for help on the mailing list.  Remember to check both the official and 
user homepages as well as Life with djbdns.
Be sure to provide real and concrete details as people get frustrated 
with the number of overly vague requests for help.  In particular, 
please use real IP and domain names in your requests for help.  
(Remember, there is no point in keeping these quiet as you are about to 
publish them on the Internet for open access through DNS!)  Providing 
real details allows the list members to check further details as needed 
and give more accurate answers to questions.  Include an exact account 
of what you did, what you expected to happen, and what you actually saw 
occur.
For an explanation of why it's important to not obscure your DNS 
information when asking for help:

dns-data.html
(The above link may be broken due to FAQTS inserting a line break; if 
so please just join the two halves)
