Mail reading - programs which support this standard may provide buttons for easy - access to the list's archives, or for subscribing and - unsubscribing to the list. It's generally a good idea to enable - these headers as it provides for an improved user experience. - These headers are often called the <code>List-*</code> headers. +<H2><A NAME="SECTION002220000000000000000"> +2.2 The Passwords Category</A> +</H2> +As mentioned above, there are two primary administrative roles for +mailing lists. In this category you can specify the password for +these roles. <P> -However, not all mail readers are standards compliant yet, and if - you have a large number of members who are using non-compliant - mail readers, they may be annoyed at these headers. You should - first try to educate your members as to why these headers exist, - and how to hide them in their mail clients. As a last resort you - can disable these headers, but this is not recommended. +The list owner has total control over the configuration of their +mailing list (within some bounds as specified by the site +administrator). Note that on this page, for historical reasons, the +list owner role is described here as the <em>list administrator</em>. +You can set the list owner's password by entering it in the password +field on the left. You must type it twice for confirmation. Note +that if you forget this password, the only way for you to get back +into your list's administrative pages is to ask the site administrator +to reset it for you (there's no password reminders for list owners). <P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>include_list_post_header</STRONG></DT> -<DD>The <span class="mailheader">List-Post:</span> header is one of the headers - recommended by <a class="rfc" name="rfcref-1048" -href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2369.html">RFC 2369</a>. However for some announce-only mailing - lists, only a very select group of people are allowed to post to - the list; the general membership is usually not allowed to post to - such lists. For lists of this nature, the <span class="mailheader">List-Post:</span> - header is misleading. Select <i>No</i> to disable the inclusion - of this header. (This does not affect the inclusion of the other - <code>List-*</code> headers.) -</DD> -</DL> +If you want to delegate list moderation to someone else, you can enter +a different moderator password in the field on the right (typed twice +for confirmation). Note that if you aren't going to delegate +moderation, and the same people are going to both configure the list +and moderate postings to the list, don't enter anything into the +moderator password fields. If you do enter a separate moderator +password, be sure to fill in the <code>moderator</code> variable in the +<em>General options</em> category page. <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="node14.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="node16.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="2.1.5 Additional settings" + href="node14.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 The List Configuration" + href="node8.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="2.3 The Language Options" + href="node16.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="node14.html">3.1.4 Notifications</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="node16.html">3.2 The Passwords Category</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="node14.html">2.1.5 Additional settings</A> +<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="parent" href="node8.html">2 The List Configuration</A> +<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="next" href="node16.html">2.3 The Language Options</A> +</div> +</div> +<hr /> +<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on December 13, 2004.</span> </DIV> <!--End of Navigation Panel--> |
