+2.1 A List's Email Addresses</A>
+</H2>
+
+<P>
+Every mailing list has a set of email addresses that messages can be
+sent to. 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.
+
+<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>
+</LI>
+<LI>mylist-confirm@example.com - This address is another email
+ robot, which processes confirmation messages for subscription
+ and unsubscription requests.
+</LI>
+</UL>
+
+<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.
