Administering Mailing Lists

Mailing lists can be administered by designated list members, called list administrators or list managers. List administrators can add or remove subscribers and can designate other list administrators. List administrators can also designate list moderators, who have limited administrative privileges. They can’t change list options, but they can approve or reject subscription requests and postings.

Mailman uses a web interface and mail-based administration. Web services must be enabled to access the web interface. Dozens of configuration options are available for Mailman mailing lists that are not accessible using Server Admin.

The Web-based administration interface is found at server.domain.tld/mailman/listinfo.

Information and access to a specific list is found at server.domain.tld/mailman/listinfo/ listname.

For documentation of these functions for users, list administrators, and server administrators, see www.list.org/docs.html.
