If you are having a problem receiving messages from ACTEC-Prac/Tech or another ACTEC List Serv this page is here to help you.

Q – I do not know my list serv password?

A1 – For ACTEC-Prac/Tech Click Here to reset your password.

A2 – For the other ACTEC list servs your password is sent to you at the beginning of each month.


Q – My email address changed and I need to update my email address?

  • Go to the applicable list serv archive
  • Click on “Join or leave the list (or change settings)”
  • Change your email address.

A2 – Contact webmaster@actec.org if you need to change your email address on a different list.


Q – I posted a message to ACTEC-Prac/Tech, but I did not see my post?

A1 – To make sure your message went out you can do one of two things.

  • Wait and see if you get a response to your message.
  • Check the applicable list serv archive

A2 – If you never see your posts to ACTEC-Prac/Tech, it is highly likely that your spam filter is blocking the messages.  You should switch to a post-confirmation message by following these steps:

  • Go to the applicable list serv archive
  • Click on “Join or leave the list (or change settings)”
  • Scroll down to the Acknowledgements section and switch from “Receive copy of own postings” to “Short message confirming receipt
  • Click Update Options

The Short message confirming receipt will look something like the following

From:LING.FSR.COM LISTSERV Server (16.0)<LISTSERV@LING.FSR.COM>Subject:Your message dated Mon, 18 Jul 2016 16:19:19 +0000 with…Message Body:Your message dated Mon, 18 Jul 2016 16:19:19 +0000 with subject “TITLE” has been successfully distributed to the actec-prac list (_____ recipients).

A3 – If you still do not get the post-confirmation message or you want to get a copy of your post, you are going to need to get your IT department involved because they are going to need to white list ACTEC-Prac/Tech in your spam filter.
