(subscribe) +</H2> + +<P> +There are two common ways you can subscribe to a Mailman mailing list. + +<P> +Using the web interface: + +<OL> +<LI>Go to the list information page for the list you want to join. + (This will probably be something like + <a class="url" href="http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME">http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME</a>) +</LI> +<LI>Look for the section marked ``Subscribing to LISTNAME'' and fill in the + boxes. You can fill in the following: + +<UL> +<LI>You <i>must</i> enter your email address. +</LI> +<LI>You may choose to supply your real name. +</LI> +<LI>You may choose a password. If you do not choose one, Mailman will + generate one for you. + +<P> +<span class="warning"><b class="label">Warning:</b> +Do NOT use a valuable password, since this + password may occasionally be mailed to you in plain text. </span> +</LI> +<LI>If the list supports more than one language, you may be able to + choose your preferred language. <span class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b> +This setting does not affect + posts to the list, only Mailman texts that come from the list software, + such as your member + options page.</span> + +</LI> +</UL> +</LI> +<LI>Press the subscribe button. A new page should appear telling you + that your subscription request has been received. This page will provide + you with further instructions, such as the need to wait for and reply to a + confirmation messages, depending on the list's subscription policies. +</LI> +</OL> + +<P> +Using the email interface: + +<OL> +<LI>Open a mail program which sends mail from the address you want to + subscribe. +</LI> +<LI>Send a mail to the list subscription address, which will be in the + form <span class="email">LISTNAME-join@DOMAIN</span>. The subject and body + of the message will be ignored, so it doesn't matter what you put there. +</LI> +</OL> + +<P> +After following one of these sets of instructions (you don't need to do +both!), there are a few possible outcomes depending upon the settings for +that list. + +<UL> +<LI>You may receive an email message asking for confirmation that you +really want to be subscribed to the list. This is to prevent anyone from +subscribing you to lists without your permission. Follow the instructions +given in the message to confirm your wish to be subscribed. +</LI> +<LI>A moderator may also need +to confirm your subscription if you are subscribing to a closed list. +</LI> +<LI>Or +you may have to wait for a moderator <i>and</i> follow the instructions in +the confirmation mail. +</LI> +</UL> + +<P> +Once this is done, you will likely receive another message welcoming you to +the list. This message contains some useful information including your list +password and some quick links for changing your options, so you may want to +save it for later reference. + +<P> +<span class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b> +Subscribing can be done in other ways as well.
