Changing Address Processing Parameters

To change the address processing parameters for a Majordomo mailing list, follow these steps:

1.From the Administration utility Main menu, choose Manage Components.

2.Under Mail on the Manage Components menu, choose Majordomo Mailing Lists.

3.Select mailing list you want to modify from the Existing Mailing Lists list.

4.From the Modify Majordomo Mailing List menu, choose Modify Address Processing Parameters.

5.When Assume Domain is Synonym for Hostname (mungedomain) is set to Yes, addresses of the form user@host.domain.name are considered equivalent to addresses of the form user@domain.name. This allows a user to subscribe to a list using the domain address rather than the address assigned to a particular machine in the domain. This field affects the interpretation of addresses for subscribe, unsubscribe, and all private options.

6.The value you enter in the Hostname Appended to Address Strings When Resent

(resend_host) field is the host name that is appended to all address strings specified for resend.

7.When Remove Comments from Addresses on the List (strip) is set to Yes, only the raw e-mail address is added to the list file; extraneous text and comments are stripped off. If the file

.strip exists, it is the same as setting this field to Yes.

8.Click on Submit.

Deleting a Majordomo List

1.Under Mail on the Manage Components menu, choose Majordomo Mailing Lists.

2.Select one or more list names from the Existing Mailing Lists list.

The Administration utility confirms the deletion on a separate page.

Mailman

Mailman is used to manage mailing and e-newsletter lists. The Web facility provided for Mailman makes the account/list management easy. Users can use the Web facility to perform activities such as subscribe/unsubscribe, view the members of the list, and post a message. List administrators can use the Web facility for wide range of operations including archiving, membership management, language options, and handling moderator requests.

Administrative activities are carried out by a list administrator or moderator for a mailing list. These activities include lists creation, list membership management and administrative options. For additional information, see the Mailman documentation located at http://usr/internet/ docs/mailman directories.
