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. + +<p> + +<div class="navigation"> +<div class='online-navigation'> +<p></p><hr /> +<table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> +<tr> +<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 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> +<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 5, 2007.</span> +</div> +<!--End of Navigation Panel--> + +</body> +</html> |
