Members by Section

This is set up for when the band needs to be quickly notified of a last-minute change in plans, like a rain-out or change of venue. The plan is that Lucinda or one of the officers (Andrew, Dorothy, Eric, Elizabeth) will notify all of the section leaders, who will in turn notify the members of their sections.

Also, if you cannot be at a rehearsal or a performance, and especially if you have a folder in your possession, be sure to notify your section leader or one of the officers.

NOTE

Unsolicited email (spam) to addresses culled from websites such as this is becoming an increasing problem. As a result, it has become necessary to implement the following rule:

In order to use any of the following email links, you MUST include the characters [CCB] (including the square brackets) anywhere in the Subject: line of your message. Any message NOT containing that exact 5-character ASCII string somewhere in the Subject: line will be summarily discarded.

Email Lists

Four email lists have been created under the chelmsfordband.org domain:

ccb-announce@chelmsfordband.org
This list is used to make announcements about band activities to the general public. To subscribe, send an empty email (the subject and body are ignored) to ccb-announce-join@chelmsfordband.org. To unsubscribe, send an empty email to ccb-announce-leave@chelmsfordband.org. In either case, the server will send you a confirming email, which you must reply to in order to complete the request.
ccb-members@chelmsfordband.org
This list is for the internal activities of the band. All band members with email addresses are subscribed to this list, and any band member may post a message to the list. Please use it sparingly, and only for information or requests that are truly relevant to the entire band. Messages must be text only — no attachments are allowed.
ccb-jazz-members@chelmsfordband.org
This list is for the internal activities of the jazz band. All jazz band members with email addresses are subscribed to this list, and any jazz band member may post a message to the list. Messages must be text only — no attachments are allowed.
ccb-board@chelmsfordband.org
This list is primarily for the business of the band board, but anyone may use it to bring something to the attention of the board. Only board members and the band directors are members of this list. Anyone may send messages to this list, but only list members can read them. Attachments are allowed.

Note: On 2007/1/8, changes were made to our hosting provider's email system that require list names to be unique across their entire server. This is why "ccb-" was prepended to each of the list names.

Personal Email Alias

Note that every band member also has a personal "...@chelmsfordband.org" email address that forwards mail to their "real" email address. To find out what your email alias is, just click on your name above. Your real email address will never be disclosed to anyone outside the band without your explicit permission.

This forwarding mechanism has certain filters installed to resist the unsolicited messages from people who harvest email addresses from websites. Currently they are:

  • Any email in which the recipient's address does not appear in the To: or CC: fields of the header is discarded. This means that you cannot BCC: one of these addresses (a common spammer trick).
  • Any email with an executable attachment (characteristic of the Klez virus and friends) is discarded.
  • Any email that mentions the words "million" and "dollars" in that order is blocked. For some reason, the "African money scam" people have been particularly problematic.
More filters will be added as needed. Be sure to let the webmaster know if this service is being abused by spammers, etc. so that appropriate action can be taken.
