Creating a Mailing List Description
Sometimes it’s dicult to know the scope and subject matter of a mailing list from the
short list name. The list information page contains a description of the list, the subject
matter it covers, and (optionally) who is permitted to subscribe. These details are
especially good for self-subscription lists. A potential subscriber can decide whether to
subscribe from the list’s description.
You use the web interface to set the mailing list description. Web services must be
enabled to access the web-based interface.
To create a list description:
1 In a web browser, enter the URL of the list administration page.
This is usually server.domain.tld/mailman/admin/listname.
2 Enter the master list password and click “Let me in.”
This is not the user’s login password. The master list password was set when mailing lists
were enabled on the server. It was mailed to list administrators designated at that time.
3 Make sure that General Options is selected from the Conguration Categories link section.
4 Enter a short phrase in the description text box.
5 In the info text box, enter information about the list, its rules, and its content
expectations.
6 Click Submit Your Changes.
