The posting name shows up in urls and in email addresses, + e.g. the <code>mylist</code> in <code>mylist@example.com</code>. The posting + name is always presented in lower case, with alphanumeric + characters and no spaces. The list's real name is used in some + public information and email responses, such as in the general + list overview. The real name can differ from the posting name by + case only. For example, if the posting name is <code>mylist</code>, the + real name can be <code>MyList</code>. + +<p> +</dd> +<dt><strong>owner</strong></dt> +<dd>This variable contains a list of email addresses, one address per + line, of the list owners. These addresses are used whenever the + list owners need to be contacted, either by the system or by end + users. Often, these addresses are used in combination with the + <code>moderator</code> addresses (see below). + +<p> +</dd> +<dt><strong>moderator</strong></dt> +<dd>This variable contains a list of email addresses, one address per + line, of the list moderators. These addresses are often used in + combination with the <code>owner</code> addresses. For example, when + you email <code>mylist-owner@example.com</code>, both the owner and + moderator addresses will receive a copy of the message. + +<p> +</dd> +<dt><strong>description</strong></dt> +<dd>In the general list overview page, which shows you every available + mailing list, each list is displayed with a short description. + The contents of this variable is that description. Note that in + emails from the mailing list, this description is also used in the + comment section of the <span class="mailheader">To:</span> address. This text should + be relatively short and no longer than one line. + +<p> +</dd> +<dt><strong>info</strong></dt> +<dd>This variable contains a longer description of the mailing list. + It is included at the top of the list's information page, and it + can contain HTML. However, blank lines will be automatically + converted into paragraph breaks. Preview your HTML though, + because unclosed or invalid HTML can prevent display of parts of + the list information page. + +<p> +</dd> +<dt><strong>subject_prefix</strong></dt> +<dd>This is a string that will be prepended to the + <span class="mailheader">Subject:</span> header of any message posted to the list. + For example, if a message is posted to the list with a + <span class="mailheader">Subject:</span> like: + +<p> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + Subject: This is a message +</pre></div> + +<p> +and the <code>subject_prefix</code> is <code>[My List] </code> (note the + trailing space!), then the message will be received like so: + +<p> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + Subject: [My List] This is a message +</pre></div> + +<p> +If you leave <code>subject_prefix</code> empty, no prefix will be added + to the <span class="mailheader">Subject:</span>. Mailman is careful not to add a + prefix when the header already has one, as is the case in replies + for example. The prefix can also contain characters in the list's + preferred language. In this case, because of vagarities of the + email standards, you may or may not want to add a trailing space. + +<p> +</dd> +<dt><strong>from_is_list</strong></dt> +<dd>This applies to all non-digest messages sent by the list.
