Setting Up a Mailman Mailing List
This section describes the process of setting up a Mailman mailing list. To do this,
you enable the service, dene a list name, and add subscribers to the list.
When you create a mailing list, you must specify a master password that gives you
control over all lists. Do not use an administrator’s or user’s login password. You must
also specify the mail addresses of other administrators who need the master password.
The following topics explain how to set up a mailing list.
Enabling Mailing Lists
Before you can dene mailing lists and subscribers, you must enable the list service
and create the administrator’s default mailing list. When you enable mailing lists,
you also create a password that allows administration of all lists on the server
and automatically create a special list for mailing list administrators. Mailing list
administrators get a copy of the master list password and error notications.
Note: This list (called Mailman) must exist for mailing lists to function. Do not remove
the master list.
To enable mailing lists:
1 In Server Admin, select a computer in the Servers list, then select Mail.
2 Click Settings.
3 Select the Mailing Lists tab.
4 Click Enable Mailman Mailing Lists.
5 Enter the master list password.
6 Enter the mail addresses of the list administrators, then click OK.
You must enter at least one administrator who will receive notications about the
mailing list service.
7 Click Save.
The Mailman list is created and the master password is sent to the indicated administrators.
