If you were a magazine publisher, you would have a list of -the mailing addresses of all the subscribers to the magazine. In the case -of an electronic mailing list, we use a list of email addresses from people -interested in hearing about or discussing a given topic. - -<P> -Two common types of email mailing lists are announcement lists and discussion -lists. - -<P> -Announcement lists are used so that one person or group can send -announcements to a group of people, much like a magazine publisher's mailing -list is used to send out magazines. For example, a band may use an -announcement mailing list to let their fan base know about their upcoming -concerts. - -<P> -A discussion list allows a group of people to discuss topics amongst -themselves, with everyone able to send mail to the list and have it distributed -to everyone in the group. This discussion may also be moderated, so only -selected posts are sent on to the group as a whole, or only certain people are -allowed to send to the group. For example, a group of model plane enthusiasts -might use a discussion mailing list to share tips about model construction and -flying. - -<P> -Some common terms: - -<UL> -<LI>A ``post'' typically denotes a message sent to a mailing list. - (Think of posting a message on a bulletin board.) -</LI> -<LI>People who are part of an electronic mailing list are usually called - the list's ``members'' or ``subscribers.'' -</LI> -<LI>``List administrators'' are the people in charge of maintaining that - one list. Lists may have one or more administrators. -</LI> -<LI>A list may also have people in charge of reading posts and deciding - if they should be sent on to all subscribers. These people are called - list moderators. -</LI> -<LI>Often more than one electronic mailing list will be run using the same - piece of software. The person who maintains the software which runs - the lists is called the ``site administrator.'' Often the site administrator - also administrates individual lists. -</LI> -</UL> -<DIV CLASS="navigation"> -<div class='online-navigation'><hr /> -<table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> -<tr> -<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="prev" title="1.1 Acknowledgements" - rel="prev" title="1.1 Acknowledgements" - href="node4.html"><img src='previous.gif' - border='0' height='32' alt='Previous Page' width='32' /></A></td> -<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="parent" title="1 Introduction" - rel="parent" title="1 Introduction" - href="node3.html"><img src='up.gif' - border='0' height='32' alt='Up One Level' width='32' /></A></td> -<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="next" title="1.3 GNU Mailman" - rel="next" title="1.3 GNU Mailman" - href="node6.html"><img src='next.gif' - border='0' height='32' alt='Next Page' width='32' /></A></td> -<td align="center" width="100%">GNU Mailman - List Member Manual</td> -<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="contents" title="Table of Contents" - rel="contents" title="Table of Contents" - href="contents.html"><img src='contents.gif' - border='0' height='32' alt='Contents' width='32' /></A></td> -<td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.gif' - border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> - -</tr></table> -<div class='online-navigation'> -<b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> -<a class="sectref" rel="prev" href="node4.html">1.1 Acknowledgements</A> -<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> -<a class="sectref" rel="parent" href="node3.html">1 Introduction</A> -<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> -<a class="sectref" rel="next" href="node6.html">1.3 GNU Mailman</A> -</div> -</div> -<hr /> -<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on 7 October 2003.</span> -</DIV> -<!--End of Navigation Panel--> - -</BODY> -</HTML> |
