</H3>
<P>
-TBD. Note that umbrella lists are deprecated and will be replace with
-a better mechanism for Mailman 3.0.
+Mailman sends notifications to the list administrators or list members
+under a number of different circumstances. Most of these
+notifications can be configured in this section, but see the Bounce
+Processing and Auto-responder categories for other notifications that
+Mailman can send.
+
+<P>
+<DL>
+<DT><STRONG>send_reminders</STRONG></DT>
+<DD>By default Mailman sends all list members a monthly password
+ reminder. This notice serves two purposes. First, it reminds
+ people about all the lists they may be subscribed to on this
+ domain, including the lists where their subscription may be
+ disabled. Second, it reminds people about their passwords for
+ these lists, as well as the url for their personal options pages,
+ so that they can more easily configure their subscription options.
+
+<P>
+Some people get annoyed with these monthly reminders, and they can
+ disable the reminders via their subscription options page. For
+ some lists, the monthly reminders aren't appropriate for any of
+ the members, so you can disable them list-wide by setting the
+ <code>send_reminders</code> variable to <em>No</em>.
+
+<P>
+</DD>
+<DT><STRONG>welcome_msg</STRONG></DT>
+<DD>When new members are subscribed to the list, either by their own
+ action, or the action of a list administrator, a welcome message
+ can be sent to them. The welcome message contains some common
+ boilerplate information, such as the name of the list,
+ instructions for posting to the list, and the member's
+ subscription password. You can add additional information to the
+ welcome message by typing the text into the <code>welcome_msg</code>
+ text box. Note that because this text is sent as part of an
+ email, it should <strong>not</strong> contain HTML.
+
+<P>
+</DD>
+<DT><STRONG>send_welcome_msg</STRONG></DT>
+<DD>This flag controls whether or not the welcome message is sent to
+ new subscribers.
+
+<P>
+</DD>
+<DT><STRONG>goodbye_msg</STRONG></DT>
+<DD>Like the <code>welcome_msg</code>, a ``goodbye'' message can be sent to
+ members when they unsubscribe from the list. Unlike the welcome
+ message, there's no boilerplate for the goodbye message. Enter
+ the entire goodbye message you'd like unsubscribing members to
+ receive into the <code>goodbye_msg</code> text box.
+
+<P>
+</DD>
+<DT><STRONG>send_goodbye_msg</STRONG></DT>
+<DD>This flag controls whether or not the goodbye message is sent to
+ unsubscribing members.
+
+<P>
+</DD>
+<DT><STRONG>admin_immed_notify</STRONG></DT>
+<DD>List moderators get notifications of pending administrative
+ actions, such as subscription or unsubscription requests that
+ require moderator approval, or posted messages that are being held
+ for moderator approval. List moderators will always get a daily
+ summary of such pending requests, but they can also get immediate
+ notifications when such a request is made. The
+ <code>admin_immed_notify</code> variable controls whether these
+ immediate notifications are sent or not. It's generally a good
+ idea to leave this set to <em>Yes</em>.
+
+<P>
+</DD>
+<DT><STRONG>admin_notify_mchanges</STRONG></DT>
+<DD>This variable controls whether the list administrators should get
+ notifications when members join or leave the list.
+
+<P>
+</DD>
+<DT><STRONG>respond_to_post_requests</STRONG></DT>
+<DD>This variable controls whether the original sender of a posting
+ gets a notice when their message is held for moderator approval.
+
+<P>
+</DD>
