1.1 A List's Email Addresses

From 3a258ad5cdd98c5705af6c02ba91993b3d382adc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Barry Warsaw Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2007 17:23:41 -0500 Subject: Because the admin directory is no longer included, the www directory isn't either, and that's where the generated docs used to live. So now, make this directory include the generated docs, removing the old IPC7 and LISA-98 directories, and the .tex source files. These latter are moved to the admin repository. --- doc/mailman-admin/node4.html | 160 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 160 insertions(+) create mode 100644 doc/mailman-admin/node4.html (limited to 'doc/mailman-admin/node4.html') diff --git a/doc/mailman-admin/node4.html b/doc/mailman-admin/node4.html new file mode 100644 index 00000000..538cd6b8 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/mailman-admin/node4.html @@ -0,0 +1,160 @@ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +1.1 A List's Email Addresses + + + + + +

+1.1 A List's Email Addresses +

+ +

+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 +mylist@example.com, you'd find these addresses: + +

+ +

mylist@example.com - this is the email address people should + use for new postings to the list. + +
+
mylist-join@example.com - by sending a message to this address, + a new member can request subscription to the list. Both the + Subject: header and body of such a message are + ignored. Note that mylist-subscribe@example.com is an alias for + the -join address. + +
+
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 Subject: header and body of the + message is ignored. Note that mylist-unsubscribe@example.com is + an alias for the -leave address. + +
+
mylist-owner@example.com - This address reaches the list owner + and list moderators directly. + +
+
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. + +
+
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. + +
+
mylist-confirm@example.com - This address is another email + robot, which processes confirmation messages for subscription + and unsubscription requests. +

+ +

+There's also an -admin address which also reaches the list +administrators, but this address only exists for compatibility with +older versions of Mailman. + +
