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>Posting</code>. -<p><hr> -<!--Table of Child-Links--> -<A NAME="CHILD_LINKS"><STRONG>Subsections</STRONG></a> +<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> -<UL CLASS="ChildLinks"> -<LI><A href="node11.html">3.1.1 General list personality</a> -<LI><A href="node12.html">3.1.2 Reply-To header munging</a> -<LI><A href="node13.html">3.1.3 Umbrella list settings</a> -<LI><A href="node14.html">3.1.4 Notifications</a> -<LI><A href="node15.html">3.1.5 Additional settings</a> -</ul> -<!--End of Table of Child-Links--> +<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>anonymous_list</STRONG></DT> +<DD>This variable allows you to turn on some simple anonymizing + features of Mailman. When you set this option to <em>Yes</em>, + Mailman will remove or replace the <span class="mailheader">From:</span>, + <span class="mailheader">Sender:</span>, and <span class="mailheader">Reply-To:</span> fields of any + message posted to the list. + +<P> +Note that this option is simply an aid for anonymization, it + doesn't guarantee it. For example, a poster's identity could be + evident in their signature, or in other mail headers, or even in + the style of the content of the message. There's little Mailman + can do about this kind of identity leakage. +</DD> +</DL> + +<P> <DIV CLASS="navigation"> -<p><hr> +<div class='online-navigation'> +<p></p><hr /> <table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> <tr> -<td><A HREF="node9.html"><img src="../icons/previous.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="Previous Page" width="32"></A></td> -<td><A HREF="node9.html"><img src="../icons/up.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="Up One Level" width="32"></A></td> -<td><A HREF="node11.html"><img src="../icons/next.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="Next Page" width="32"></A></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="prev" title="2.1 The General Options" + href="node9.html"><img src='previous.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Previous Page' width='32' /></A></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="parent" title="2.1 The General Options" + href="node9.html"><img src='up.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Up One Level' width='32' /></A></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="next" title="2.1.2 Reply-To header munging" + href="node11.html"><img src='next.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Next Page' width='32' /></A></td> <td align="center" width="100%">GNU Mailman - List Administration Manual</td> -<td><A href="contents.html"><img src="../icons/contents.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="Contents" width="32"></A></td> -<td><img src="../icons/blank.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="" width="32"></td> -<td><img src="../icons/blank.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="" width="32"></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="contents" title="Table of Contents" + href="contents.html"><img src='contents.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Contents' width='32' /></A></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> </tr></table> -<b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node9.html">3 The List Configuration</A> -<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node9.html">3 The List Configuration</A> -<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node11.html">3.1.1 General list personality</A> -<hr> -<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on October 2, 2004.</span> +<div class='online-navigation'> +<b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="prev" href="node9.html">2.1 The General Options</A> +<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="parent" href="node9.html">2.1 The General Options</A> +<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="next" href="node11.html">2.1.2 Reply-To header munging</A> +</div> +</div> +<hr /> +<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on December 13, 2004.</span> </DIV> <!--End of Navigation Panel--> |
