Note that mylist-unsubscribe@example.com is + an alias for the -leave address. <P> -GNU Mailman is software that lets you manage electronic mailing lists. -It supports a wide range of mailing list types, such as general -discussion lists and announce-only lists. Mailman has extensive -features for controlling the privacy of your lists, distributing your -list as personalized postings or digests, gatewaying postings to and -from Usenet, and providing automatic bounce detection. Mailman -provides a built-in archiver, multiple natural languages, as well as -advanced content and topic filtering. +</LI> +<LI>mylist-owner@example.com - This address reaches the list owner + and list moderators directly. <P> -Mailman provides several interfaces to its functionality. Most list -administrators will primarily use the web interface to customize their -lists. There is also a limited email command interface to the -administrative functions, as well as a command line interface if you -have shell access on the Mailman server. This document does not cover -the command line interface; see the GNU Mailman site administrator's -manual for more details. +</LI> +<LI>mylist-request@example.com - This address reaches a mail robot + which processes email commands that can be used to set member + subscription options, as well as process other commands. <P> +</LI> +<LI>mylist-bounces@example.com - This address receives bounces from + members who's addresses have become either temporarily or + permanently inactive. The -bounces address is also a mail robot + that processes bounces and automatically disables or removes + members as configured in the bounce processing settings. Any + bounce messages that are either unrecognized, or do not seem to + contain member addresses, are forwarded to the list + administrators. -<p><hr> -<!--Table of Child-Links--> -<A NAME="CHILD_LINKS"><STRONG>Subsections</STRONG></a> +<P> +</LI> +<LI>mylist-confirm@example.com - This address is another email + robot, which processes confirmation messages for subscription + and unsubscription requests. +</LI> +</UL> -<UL CLASS="ChildLinks"> -<LI><A href="node5.html">2.1 A List's Email Addresses</a> -<LI><A href="node6.html">2.2 Administrative Roles</a> -<LI><A href="node7.html">2.3 A List's Web Pages</a> -<LI><A href="node8.html">2.4 Basic Architectural Overview</a> -</ul> -<!--End of Table of Child-Links--> +<P> +There's also an -admin address which also reaches the list +administrators, but this address only exists for compatibility with +older versions of Mailman. + +<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="node3.html"><img src="../icons/previous.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="Previous Page" width="32"></A></td> -<td><A href="contents.html"><img src="../icons/up.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="Up One Level" width="32"></A></td> -<td><A HREF="node5.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="1 Introduction to GNU" + href="node3.html"><img src='previous.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Previous Page' width='32' /></A></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="parent" title="1 Introduction to GNU" + href="node3.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="1.2 Administrative Roles" + href="node5.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="node3.html">1 WARNING: This is</A> -<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> <a class="sectref" href="contents.html">Contents</A> -<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node5.html">2.1 A List's Email</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="node3.html">1 Introduction to GNU</A> +<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="parent" href="node3.html">1 Introduction to GNU</A> +<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="next" href="node5.html">1.2 Administrative Roles</A> +</div> +</div> +<hr /> +<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on December 13, 2004.</span> </DIV> <!--End of Navigation Panel--> |
