There's always one address for posting messages to the list, -one address that bounces will be sent to, and addresses for processing -email commands. For example, for a mailing list called -<var>mylist@example.com</var>, you'd find these addresses: - -<P> - -<UL> -<LI>mylist@example.com - this is the email address people should - use for new postings to the list. - -<P> -</LI> -<LI>mylist-join@example.com - by sending a message to this address, - a new member can request subscription to the list. Both the - <span class="mailheader">Subject:</span> header and body of such a message are - ignored. Note that mylist-subscribe@example.com is an alias for - the -join address. - -<P> -</LI> -<LI>mylist-leave@example.com - by sending a message to this address, - a member can request unsubscription from the list. As with the - -join address, the <span class="mailheader">Subject:</span> header and body of the - message is ignored. Note that mylist-unsubscribe@example.com is - an alias for the -leave address. - -<P> -</LI> -<LI>mylist-owner@example.com - This address reaches the list owner - and list moderators directly. - -<P> -</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. +There are two primary administrative roles for each mailing list, a +list owner and a list moderator. A list owner is allowed to change +various settings of the list, such as the privacy and archiving +policies, the content filtering settings, etc. The list owner is also +allowed to subscribe or invite members, unsubscribe members, and +change any member's subscription options. <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. +The list moderator on the other hand, is only allowed to approve or +reject postings and subscription requests. The list moderator can +also do things like clear a member's moderation flag, or add an +address to a list of approved non-member posters. <P> -</LI> -<LI>mylist-confirm@example.com - This address is another email - robot, which processes confirmation messages for subscription - and unsubscription requests. -</LI> -</UL> +Normally, the list owner and list moderator are the same person. In +fact, the list owner can always do all the tasks a list moderator can +do. Access to both the owner's configuration pages, and the +moderation pages are protected by the same password. However, if the +list owner wants to delegate posting and subscription approval +authority to other people, a separate list moderator password can be +set, giving moderators access to the approval pages, but not the +configuration pages. In this setup, list owners can still moderate +the list, of course. <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. +In the sections that follow, we'll often use the terms list owner and +list administrator interchangably, meaning both roles. When +necessary, we'll distinguish the list moderator explicitly. <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="node4.html"><img src="../icons/previous.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="Previous Page" width="32"></A></td> -<td><A HREF="node4.html"><img src="../icons/up.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="Up One Level" width="32"></A></td> -<td><A HREF="node6.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="1.1 A List's Email" + href="node4.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="1.3 A List's Web" + href="node6.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="node4.html">2 Introduction to GNU</A> -<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node4.html">2 Introduction to GNU</A> -<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node6.html">2.2 Administrative Roles</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="node4.html">1.1 A List's Email</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="node6.html">1.3 A List's Web</A> +</div> +</div> +<hr /> +<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on December 13, 2004.</span> </DIV> <!--End of Navigation Panel--> |
