Subscribing to the DEVFINANCE discussion list on Internet

In 1994, the Program set up an Internet discussion network on development finance at The Ohio State University. If you care to receive and send messages within the DEVFINANCE system, you can do so by following these instructions.

1. You must first gain access to the Internet and be able to send e-mail messages on it. Many government organizations and universities have such access.

2. Once on the Internet, send an e-mail message to:

devfinance-on@ag.osu.edu

    You may click on the above address and an email message will be automatically created to be sent to the address.

3. Leave the subject and the text area blank and hit send.

4. After sending this message you should immediately receive a message requesting confirmation that you are subscribing.  When you receive this message simply hit the reply button and then send.  The confirmation request message will be sent to the address from which you sent the request so it is important that you only reply from the account that you want subscribed, that is to say, if you have multiple accounts make sure you subscribe and confirm your subscription through the account that you want to have subscribed.

5. Once your name is on the listserver, you will automatically receive all the messages that members of the DEVFINANCE list send. You can likewise send messages to all of the individuals on the list by sending a regular e-mail message to:

devfinance@postoffice.ag.ohio-state.edu

    NOTE: You will only be allowed to post messages if you are subscribed.  If you use the REPLY command on any DEVFINANCE message, your reply will be received by ALL subscribers. Please send personal messages only if you are sure you are sending them only to the person for whom they are intended.

7. To UNSUBSCRIBE send an e-mail message to

devfinance-off@ag.ohio-state.edu

    You may click on the above address and an email message will be automatically created to be sent to the address.

8. Leave the subject and the text area blank and hit send.

9. After sending this message you should immediately receive a message requesting confirmation that you are unsubscribing.  When you receive this message simply hit your reply button and then send.  The confirmation request message will be sent to the address from which you are unsubscribing so it is important that you only send the request from the account that is subscribed, that is to say, if you have multiple accounts make sure you cancel and confirm that you are canceling your subscription through the account which you originally subscribed.

Feel free to share this subscription information with anyone else who might be interested in development finance. If you have difficulty subscribing please send an e-mail to Carlos Alpizar for assistance at devfinance-request@ag.ohio-state.edu.
