Lists are managed by the list administrator via your control panel. Once the list has been setup go to your control panel then click on 'list administration'.

The available options for a mailing list are:

Type of List:

• ANYONE CAN POST: With this option selected anyone can post to you list.
• ONLY SUBSCRIBERS CAN POST: By selecting this option only registered users of your list can post.
• ONLY MODERATORS CAN POST: With this option only the owner of the list can post.

Reply to list:

Have replies sent from subscribers (or users) go to the list rather than to the sender of the original message.

Disable List Command:

A user can obtain a list of users subscribed to a list server mailing list by addressing a message to the list server (for example, imailsrv@domain.com) and entering the LIST listname command in the body of the message. If you do not want users to receive a list of the subscribers to your list, select this option. List owners can always access this command.

Disable Subscriptions (Private List):

When selected, refuses a Subscribe request to the list. The owner or administrator must add new users through the Mail Control Panel. Note that unsubscribe requests are always honored.

Enable Digest Mode:

You can offer your list subscribers a digest of messages sent to the list server mailing list. The list server stores all messages sent to the list in a digest mailbox. The accumulated messages are then sent to digest subscribers as a single message. Digest options can be set from the mail control panel.

Enable Subject Modification:

When selected, displays the text string (entered in the edit box) at the beginning of the subject line of every message sent to the list.

Enable Header/Trailer:

When selected, displays the text information at the begining and/or the end of every message sent to the list. To edit the header or trailer text click on the header.txt or trailer.txt button in your mail control panel.

Allow Unsubscribe On Subject Line:

When selected, the list will accept the following commands in the subject line to unsubscribe: unsubscribe, remove, signoff.

Maximum Message Size:

The maximum size (in bytes) of a message that can be sent to a list. Enter 0 if you want the size to be unlimited.

Number of Recipients Per Message:

You must calculate this number; it determines the number of recipients each SMTP process will send to. If you expect under 2000 users subscribing to the list enter the value 25. If you expect over 2000 users subscribing tot he list, divide the expected number of subscribers by 25, and enter the result as the number of recipients per message.

Send Welcome:

You may wish to send a standard greeting to new members who join the list. This option allows you to do so. To enable this option click on the subscribe.txt button, enter the welcome message then click 'save'.

Sending email to subscribers:

To send a mailing to all subscribers of your list address your email to you_list_name@yourdomain.com.

List Server Commands:

The list server will accept the following commands from the body of an email message:

- subscribe listname your_name
- unsubscribe listname your_name
- help
- help listname
- list
- list listname
- set mode digest listname
- set mode standard listname

When sending e-mail to the list server to perform any of these commands, you must always address the e-mail to imailsrv@yourdomain.com.
