Chapter 2 Mail Service Setup 51
Designating a List Administrator
When you set up a mailing list, you designate at least one user to administer it.
This administrator has access to the other list settings pages for all lists on the server.
You can designate more than one list administrator and change any subscriber to or
from being a list administrator. You can add, remove, or change the list administrator
using these instructions.
List administrators do not need to be users (neither administrator nor regular) on
the server. They are listed as mail addresses. Giving list administrator privileges to a
subscriber does not give them privileges on the mailing list server other than making
and removing lists and editing list preferences.
To designate a list administrator:
1 In Server Admin, select a computer in the Servers list, then select Mail.
2 Click Settings.
3 Select the Mailing Lists tab.
4 Select the list that has the subscriber to be given list administrator privileges.
If the user isn’t subscribed to the list, you must add him or her rst. For more
information, see “Maximum Number of Mail Messages Per Volume” on page 81.
5 Select the subscriber.
6 Click the Admin checkbox in the subscriber list, if wanted.
7 Click OK.
Accessing Web-Based Administrator Options
List administrators set preferences for mailing list behavior. They also view pending
moderation requests for mailing lists that are being run on a server. These and other
tasks are accomplished through the server’s web-administration portal. Web services
must be enabled to access the web portal.
Server Admin does not give access to the wide range of preferences available for a
mailing list. List administrators are encouraged to use the web interface for all but the
most basic setup tasks.
Information about what options are available via the web interface can be found at
www.list.org/docs.html.
To access a list’s web-based options:
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.
