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> +</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> +<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim"> + Subject: This is a message +</pre></dl> + +<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> +<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim"> + Subject: [My List] This is a message +</pre></dl> + +<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 <i>Yes</i>, + 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> +<table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> +<tr> +<td><A HREF="node10.html"><img src="../icons/previous.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="Previous Page" width="32"></A></td> +<td><A HREF="node10.html"><img src="../icons/up.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="Up One Level" width="32"></A></td> +<td><A HREF="node12.html"><img src="../icons/next.gif" + 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> +</tr></table> +<b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node10.html">3.1 The General Options</A> +<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node10.html">3.1 The General Options</A> +<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node12.html">3.1.2 Reply-To header munging</A> +<hr> +<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on October 2, 2004.</span> +</DIV> +<!--End of Navigation Panel--> + +</BODY> +</HTML> |
