Mailing Lists
Mailman is a popular mailing list script. Mailing lists are an ideal tool
for communication between far-flung participants and can be about anything
you want. Mailman allows you to set up a mailing list with a large number
of configurable options, such as who is on the list, where mailing lists messages
are sent, and whether you include welcoming messages to new subscribers.
The Mailman documentation, which is incorporated into its Administration
panel, is clear and helpful, and should be referred to for all questions about
using the script. The instructions in this section deal with how to set up,
modify, and delete a Mailman mailing list from your CPanel. You can can also
refer to the
Mailman
home page for more information.
Note: It is a good idea to be aware of spam and its definition
before setting up a mailing list - refer to
E-mail
Filtering for more information.
