-CREATE YOUR FIRST LIST
-
- These instructions assume that you've installed and configured Mailman
- according to the instructions in the INSTALL file. To create and test
- your first list, try the following:
-
- - First, initialize the site administrator's password by cd'ing to the
- install directory (by default /usr/local/mailman) and typing
-
- % bin/mmsitepass
- New site password: [yourpassword]
- Again to confirm password: [yourpassword]
- Password changed.
-
- - Visit the url:
-
- http://my.dom.ain/mailman/create
-
- Fill out the form as described in the on-screen instructions, and in the
- "List creator's password" field, type the password you entered above.
- Type your own email address for the "Initial list owner address", and
- select "Yes" to notify the list administrator.
-
- - Hit "Create List"
-
- - Check your email for a message from Mailman informing you that your new
- mailing list was created.
-
- - NOTE: You should consult the README for the specific MTA you are using.
- Most can be set up to provide through-the-web creation of mailing lists,
- but each configuration is different.
-
- - Now visit the list's admin page (either by following the link on the web
- page or entering the link from the email Mailman just sent you).
- Typically the url will be something like
-
- http://my.dom.ain/mailman/admin/mysitelist
-
- Type in the list's password and click on "Let me in..."
-
- - Click on "Membership Management" and then on "Mass Subscription".
-
- - Enter your email address in the big text field, and click on "Submit
- Your Changes"
-
- - Now go to your email and send a message to yourlist@my.dom.ain. Within
- a minute or two you should see your message reflected back to you via
- Mailman.
-
- Congratulations! You've just set up and tested your first Mailman mailing
- list. If you had any problems along the way, please see the section below
- on FOR MORE INFORMATION.
