3.2 The email interface
</h2>
Every mailing list has a set of email addresses to which messages can be
sent. There's always one address for posting messages to the list, one
address to which bounces are sent, and addresses for processing email
commands. For a fictional mailing list called
<span class="email">mylist@example.com</span>, you'd find these addresses:
<p>
<ul>
<li><span class="email">mylist@example.com</span> - this is the email address people should
use for new postings to the list.
<p>
</li>
<li><span class="email">mylist-join@example.com</span> - 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><span class="email">mylist-leave@example.com</span> - 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><span class="email">mylist-owner@example.com</span> - This address reaches the list owner
and list moderators directly. This is the address you use if
you need to contact the person or people in charge.
<p>
</li>
<li><span class="email">mylist-request@example.com</span> - 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.
A list of members' email commands is provided in
Appendix <a href="node41.html#a:commands">A</a>.
<p>
</li>
<li><span class="email">mylist-bounces@example.com</span> - This address receives bounces from
members whose 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><span class="email">mylist-confirm@example.com</span> - 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>
For changing options, we use the <span class="email">LISTNAME-request</span>
address (for example, <span class="email">mylist-request@example.com</span>).
<p>
Commands can appear in the subject line or the body of the message. Each
command should be on a separate line. If your mail program automatically
appends a signature to your messages, you may want to put the word
"<var>end</var>" (without the quotes) on a separate line after your other commands.
The <var>end</var> command tells Mailman not to process the email after that
point.
<p>
The most important command is probably the "<var>help</var>" command, since it
makes Mailman return a message full of useful information about the
email commands and directions to the web interface.
<p>
Quick references to the subscriber commands have been provided in
Appendices <a href="node41.html#a:commands">A</a> and <a href="node42.html#a:options">B</a>. (These have been slightly
adapted from the output of the <var>help</var> command.)

4 I need to talk to a human!
</h1>
<p>
If you have any trouble with any of these commands, you can always reach the
person or people in charge of a list by using the list administrator email address.
The list administrators can help you figure out
how to do something, subscribe/unsubscribe you, or change your
settings if you are unable to change them yourself for some reason. Please
remember that many mailing list administrators are volunteers who are donating
their spare time to run the list, and they may be very busy people.
<p>
This list administrator email address is in the form <span class="email">LISTNAME-owner@DOMAIN</span>, where LISTNAME is the name of the list (eg: mailman-users) and DOMAIN is
the name of the server (eg: python.org).
This email address,
along with the email addresses of specific administrators, is given on the
bottom of the list information pages. See Section <a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a> for more
information on finding the list information page for your list

5.1 How do I join a list? (subscribe)
</h2>
<p>
There are two common ways you can subscribe to a Mailman mailing list.
<p>
Using the web interface:
<ol>
<li>Go to the list information page for the list you want to join.
(This will probably be something like
<a class="url" href="http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME">http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME</a>)
</li>
<li>Look for the section marked "Subscribing to LISTNAME" and fill in the
boxes. You can fill in the following:
<ul>
<li>You <em>must</em> enter your email address.
</li>
<li>You may choose to supply your real name.
</li>
<li>You may choose a password. If you do not choose one, Mailman will
generate one for you.
<p>
<span class="warning"><b class="label">Warning:</b>
Do NOT use a valuable password, since this
password may be mailed to you in plain text. </span>
</li>
<li>If the list supports more than one language, you may be able to
choose your preferred language. <span class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b>
This setting does not affect
posts to the list, only pre-prepared Mailman texts such as your member
options page.</span>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Press the subscribe button. A new page should appear telling you
that your request has been sent.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
Using the email interface:
<ol>
<li>Open a mail program which sends mail from the address you want to
subscribe.
</li>
<li>Send a mail to the list subscription address, which will be in the
form <span class="email">LISTNAME-join@DOMAIN</span>. The subject and body
of the message will be ignored, so it doesn't matter what you put there.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
After following one of these sets of instructions (you don't need to do
both!), there are a few possible outcomes depending upon the settings for
that list.
<ul>
<li>You may receive an email message asking for confirmation that you
really want to be subscribed to the list. This is to prevent anyone from
subscribing you to lists without your permission. Follow the instructions
given in the message to confirm your wish to be subscribed.
</li>
<li>A moderator may also need
to confirm your subscription if you are subscribing to a limited list.
</li>
<li>Or
you may have to wait for a moderator <i>and</i> follow the instructions in
the confirmation mail.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Once this is done, you will likely receive another message welcoming you to
the list. This message contains some useful information including your list
password and some quick links for changing your options, so you may want to
save it for later reference.
<p>
<span class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b>
Subscribing can be done in other ways as well. See
Appendix <a href="node41.html#a:commands">A</a> for more advanced email subscribing commands.</span>

5.2 How do I leave a list? (unsubscribe)
</h2>
<p>
Don't want to be on a list any more? If you're just going on vacation or
are too busy to read mails and want to temporarily turn them off, you may want
to stop mail delivery rather than unsubscribing. This means you keep your
password and other settings so you can, for example, still have access to
private list archives. If this is what you'd
prefer, see Section <a href="node20.html#sec:nomail">7.1</a> for instructions on disabling mail
delivery temporarily.
<p>
If you actually want to leave the list, there are two common ways you can
unsubscribe from a Mailman mailing list.
<p>
Using the web interface:
<ol>
<li>Go to the list information page for the list you want to leave.
(This will probably be something like
<a class="url" href="http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME">http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME</a>)
</li>
<li>Look for the section marked "LISTNAME subscribers" (usually found
near the bottom of the page).
</li>
<li>There should be a button marked "Unsubscribe or Edit Options."
Enter your email address in the box beside this button and press the
button.
</li>
<li>You should be brought to a new page which has an "Unsubscribe"
button. Press it to unsubscribe and follow the instructions given.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
Using the email interface:
<ol>
<li>Open a mail program which sends mail from the address you want to
unsubscribe.
</li>
<li>Send a mail to the list unsubscribe address, which will be of the form
<span class="email">LISTNAME-leave@DOMAIN</span>.
The subject and body
of this message will be ignored, so it doesn't matter what you put there.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
After following one of these sets of instructions (you don't need to do
both!), you will be sent a confirmation mail and must follow the
instructions given in that mail to complete the unsubscription. This is to
stop people from unsubscribing you without your permission. In addition, a
moderator may need to approve your unsubscription.
<p>
If you do not receive this confirmation mail with instructions, make sure
that you typed your email address correctly (if you were using the web
interface to unsubscribe) and that the address you tried
to unsubscribe is, indeed, actually subscribed to that list. For security
reasons, Mailman generates the same member options page regardless of
whether the address entered is subscribed or not. This means that people
cannot use this part of the web interface to find out if someone is
subscribed to the list, but it also means that it's hard to tell if you just
made a typo.
<p>
Once your unsubscription has been processed, you will will probably receive
another message confirming your unsubscription from the list, and at that
point you should stop receiving messages.
<p>
If you wish to skip the confirmation process (for example, you might be
unsubscribing an address which no longer works), it is possible to bypass it by
using your password instead and either logging in to your options page using
it (See Section <a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a>), or sending it with your email commands to
LISTNAME-request (See Appendix <a href="node41.html#a:commands">A</a> for advanced email
unsubscription commands). See Section <a href="node16.html#sec:getpassword">6.1</a> for more
information on getting your password.

You probably got a copy of it in a

so that only the holder of the password (you!) and the administrators

6.1 How do I get my password?
</h2>
If you've forgotten your password and haven't saved the welcome message or
any reminder messages, you can always get a reminder through the web interface:
<p>
<ol>
<li>Go to the list information page for the list from which you wish to
get your password
(This will probably be something like
<a class="url" href="http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME">http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME</a>)
</li>
<li>Look for the section marked "LISTNAME subscribers"
(this section is usually found near the bottom of the page).
</li>
<li>There should be a button marked "Unsubscribe or Edit Options."
Enter your email address in the box beside this button and press the
button.
</li>
<li>You should be brought to a new page which has an "Password
Reminder" section. Press the "Remind" button to have your password
emailed to you.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
If you do not receive the password reminder email after doing this, make sure
that you typed your
email address correctly and that the address you used is, indeed, actually
subscribed to that list. For security reasons, Mailman generates the same
member options page regardless of whether the address entered is subscribed
or not. This means that people cannot use this part of the web interface to
find out if someone is subscribed to the list, but it also means that it's
hard to tell if you just made a typo.
<p>
You can also get a reminder using the email interface,
<ol>
<li>Send a mail to <span class="email">LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN</span> with the command
<var>password</var>
<p>
Commands can appear
in either the body or the subject of the message. (See
Section <a href="node10.html#sec:email">3.2</a> for more information about sending mail
commands.)
<p>
If you are not sending mail from your subscribed address, you can also
specify this address by sending the command <var>password address=<span class="MATH"><IMG
WIDTH="17" HEIGHT="29" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
SRC="img1.png"
ALT="$<$"></span>ADDRESS<span class="MATH"><IMG

7.1 How do I turn mail delivery on or off?
(delivery option)
</h2>
<p>
You may wish to temporarily stop getting messages from the
list without having to unsubscribe.
If you disable mail delivery, you will no longer receive messages, but will
still be a subscriber and will retain your password and other settings.
<p>
This can be handy in a many different cases. For example, you could be
going on vacation or need a break from the list because you're too busy to
read any extra mail.
Many mailing lists also allow only subscribers to post to the list, so if you
commonly send mail from more than one address (eg, one address for at home
and another for when you're travelling), you may want to have more than
one subscribed account, but have only one of them actually receive mail.
You can also use this as a way to read private archives even on a list which
may be too busy for you to have sent directly to your mailbox. All you need to do is subscribe, disable mail delivery, and use your password and email to
log in to the archives.
<p>
To disable/enable mail delivery using the web interface:
<ol>
<li>Log in to your options page. (See Section <a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a> for instructions.)
</li>
<li>Go down to the section marked "Mail delivery" and select "Disabled"
to stop receiving mail, and "Enabled" to start receiving mail.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
This can also be changed for multiple lists at the same time if you are subscribed to
more than one list on the same domain. See Section <a href="node34.html#sec:global">10.1</a> for
information about changing settings globally.
<p>
To disable/enable mail delivery using the email interface:
<ol>
<li>Send a mail to <span class="email">LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN</span> with the command
<var>set delivery off</var> or <var>set delivery on</var>.
<p>
Commands can appear
in either the body or the subject of the message. (See
Section <a href="node10.html#sec:email">3.2</a> for more information about sending mail
commands.)
</li>
<li>Set it to "off" to stop receiving posts, and "on" to start
receiving them again.

7.2 How can I avoid getting duplicate messages? (duplicates option)
</h2>
<p>
Mailman can't completely stop you from getting duplicate messages, but it
can help. One common reason people get multiple copies of a mail is that
the sender has used a "group reply" function to send mail to both the list and
some number of individuals. If you want to avoid getting these messages,
Mailman can be set to check and see if you are in the <span class="mailheader">To:</span> or
<span class="mailheader">CC:</span> lines of the message. If your address appears there,
then Mailman can be told not to deliver another copy to you.
<p>
To turn this on or off using the web interface:
<ol>
<li>Log in to your member options page. (See Section <a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a>
for more details on how to do this.)
</li>
<li>Scroll down to the bottom of the page to the section marked
"Avoid duplicate copies of messages?" and change the value accordingly.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
This can also be changed for multiple lists at the same time if you are subscribed to
more than one list on the same domain. See Section <a href="node34.html#sec:global">10.1</a> for
information about changing settings globally.
<p>
To turn this on or off using the email interface:
<ol>
<li>Send a mail to <span class="email">LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN</span> with the command
<var>set duplicates on</var> or <var>set duplicates off</var>.
<p>
Commands can appear
in either the body or the subject of the message. (See
Section <a href="node10.html#sec:email">3.2</a> for more information about sending mail
commands.)
</li>
<li>Set it to "on" to receive list copies of messages already sent
to you, set it to "off" to avoid receiving these duplicates.
</li>
</ol>

7.3 How do I change my subscription address?
</h2>
To change your subscription address,
<ol>
<li>Log in to your member options page. (See Section <a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a>
for more details on how to do this.)
</li>
<li>In the section marked "Changing your LISTNAME membership information,"
enter your new address.
</li>
<li>If you wish to change your address for all subscriptions using the
old address, select the "Change globally" box. If you have subscriptions
under another address or for lists on a different domain, these will have
to be done separately. See Section <a href="node34.html#sec:global">10.1</a> for more
information about changing settings globally.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
There is no special way to do this from the email interface, but you can
subscribe and unsubscribe for more or less the same effect. (See
Sections <a href="node13.html#sec:subscribe">5.1</a> and <a href="node14.html#sec:unsubscribe">5.2</a> for more information
on subscribing and unsubscribing.)

7.4 How do I stop or start getting copies of my own posts? (myposts
option)
</h2>
By default in Mailman, you get a copy of every post you send to the list.
Some people like this since it lets them know when the post has gone through
and means they have a copy of their own words with the rest of a discussion,
but others don't want to bother downloading copies of their own posts.
<p>
<span class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b>
This option has no effect if you are receiving digests.</span>
<p>
You may also want to see Section <a href="node24.html#sec:getack">7.5</a>, which discusses
acknowledgement emails for posts sent to the list.
<p>
To set this using the web interface:
<ol>
<li>Log in to your member options page. (See Section <a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a>
for more details on how to do this.)
</li>
<li>Look for the section marked "Receive your own posts to the list?"
Set it to "Yes" to receive copies of your own posts, and "No" to avoid
receiving them.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
To set this using the email interface:
<ol>
<li>Send a mail to <span class="email">LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN</span> with the command
<var>set myposts on</var> or <var>set myposts off</var>.
<p>
Commands can appear
in either the body or the subject of the message. (See
Section <a href="node10.html#sec:email">3.2</a> for more information about sending mail
commands.)
</li>
<li>Set it to "on" to receive copies of your own posts, and "off"
to avoid receiving them.

7.5 How can I get Mailman to tell me when my post has been received

</h2>
<p>
On most lists, you will simply receive a copy of your mail when it has gone
through the list software, but if this is disabled (See
Section <a href="node23.html#sec:getown">7.4</a>), your list mail delivery is disabled (See
Section <a href="node20.html#sec:nomail">7.1</a>), you are not subscribed to that topic (See
Section <a href="node31.html#sec:sometopic">9.2</a>) or you
simply want an extra acknowledgement from the system, this option may
be useful to you.
<p>
<span class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b>
If you are not subscribed to the list, this option cannot be used.
You must either check the archives yourself (if the list has public archives),
ask someone who is subscribed to the list, or subscribe to use this option.</span>
<p>
To set this using the web interface:
<ol>
<li>Log in to your member options page. (See Section <a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a>
for more details on how to do this.)
</li>
<li>Look for the section marked "Receive acknowledgement mail when you
send mail to the list?"
Set it to "Yes" to receive a mail letting you know your post has been
received, and "No" to avoid receiving such an acknowledgement.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
To set this using the email interface:
<ol>
<li>Send a mail to <span class="email">LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN</span> with the command
<var>set ack on</var> or <var>set ack off</var>.
<p>
Commands can appear
in either the body or the subject of the message. (See

<h2><a name="SECTION002760000000000000000">
7.6 I don't seem to be getting mail from the lists. What should
I do?</a>
</h2>
There are a few common reasons for this:
<ul>
<li>No one has sent any mail to the list(s) you're on for a little while.
<p>
To check if this is the case, try visiting the archives of the list
(assuming that the list has archives). If the list has no archives, you
may have to ask another subscriber. (See Section <a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a> for help
in finding the list archives.)
<p>
<span class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b>
Generally, it is considered
impolite to send test messages to the entire list.
If you feel a need to test that the list is working and for some reason you
cannot simply compose a regular message to the list, it is less disruptive
to send a help message to
the list request address (LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN) to see if that works,
or to contact the list
administrator (LISTNAME-owner@DOMAIN) to ask if the list is working.</span>
<p>
</li>
<li>You were bouncing mail and have had mail delivery (temporarily)
disabled by the list software.
<p>
If your mail provider "bounces" too many messages (that is, it tells
Mailman that the message could not be delivered)
Mailman eventually stops trying to send you mail. This feature allows
Mailman to gracefully handle addresses which no longer exist (for example,
the subscriber has found a new internet service provider and forgot to
unsubscribe the old address), as well
as addresses which are temporarily out-of-service (for example, the
subscriber has used up all of the allotted space for his or her email
account, or the subscriber's mail provider is experiencing difficulties).
<p>
Even if you are unaware of any difficulties with your mail provider, it
is a good idea to check this. Some popular webmail providers and
internet servers are not as reliable as one might assume, nor is the
internet as a whole. You may want to also send yourself a test message
from another account or ask a friend to send you a test message to make
sure your subscribed address is working.
<p>
To check if this may be the reason you are not receiving messages, log in
to the your options page (See
Section <a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a> for more details on how to do this) and
look at your options. There should be one marked "Mail Delivery" -
if it is set to "Disabled," set it to "Enabled" to start receiving mail
again. (For more instructions on disabling or enabling mail delivery,
see Section <a href="node20.html#sec:nomail">7.1</a>.)
<p>
<span class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b>
Even if you have not been disabled at the time you check, you could be
bouncing messages and not have reached the threshold for your
subscription to be disabled. You may need to check again.</span>
<p>
</li>
<li>There is a delay or break in the networks between you and the
list server.
<p>
No matter what many of us would like, the internet is not 100%
reliable, nor is it always fast. Sometimes, messages simply take a long
time to get to you. Try to be patient, especially if the server is far
(in terms of networks, not geography, although often one implies the other)
from your internet service provider.
<p>
To check if this might be causing your problem, you can try pinging
the list server or tracing the route between you and it. (Instructions
on how to do this varies from platform to platform, so you may want to
use a search engine to find those appropriate for you.)
<p>
</li>
<li>The Mailman installation on the list server is not functioning or
not functioning properly.
<p>
To test if this is a case, try visiting the list's web interface and
try sending a message to <span class="email">LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN</span> with the command
"<var>help</var>" (without the quotes) in the <span class="mailheader">Subject:</span>. If
neither of these works after a reasonable length of time, this may be
the problem. You may wish to contact either the list or site
administrator(s).

8.1 How can I start or stop getting the list posts grouped into one
big email? (digest option)
</h2>
<p>
Groups of posts are called "digests" in Mailman. Rather than get messages
one at a time, you can get messages grouped together. On a moderately busy
list, this typically means you get one email per day, although it may be
more or less frequent depending upon the list.
<p>
You may also want to look at Section <a href="node28.html#sec:MIME">8.2</a> which discusses MIME
and plain text digests.
<p>
To turn digest mode on or off using the web interface,
<ol>
<li>Log in to your member options page. (See Section <a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a>
for more details on how to do this.)
</li>
<li>Look for the section marked "Set Digest Mode."
<p>
Set it to "On" to
receive messages bundled together in digests. Set it to "Off" to
receive posts separately.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
To turn digest mode on or off using the email interface,
<ol>
<li>Send a mail to <span class="email">LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN</span> with the command
<var>set digest plain</var> or <var>set digest mime</var> or <var>set digest off</var>.
<p>
Commands can appear
in either the body or the subject of the message. (See
Section <a href="node10.html#sec:email">3.2</a> for more information about sending mail
commands.)
</li>
<li>Set it to "off" if you wish to receive individual posts separately,
and to "plain" or "mime" to receive posts grouped into one large mail.
See Section <a href="node28.html#sec:MIME">8.2</a> for more information on plain versus MIME
digests.

8.2 What are MIME and Plain Text Digests? How do I change which one
I get? (digest option)
</h2>
<p>
MIME is short for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions. It is used to
send things by email which are not necessarily simple plain text. (For
example, MIME would be used if you were sending a picture of your dog to
a friend.)
<p>
A MIME digest has each message as an attachment inside the message, along
with a summary table of contents.
<p>
A plain text digest is a simpler form of digest, which should be readable
even in mail readers which don't support MIME. The messages are simply put
one after the other into one large text message.
<p>
Most modern mail programs do support MIME, so you only need to choose
plain text digests if you are having trouble reading the MIME ones.
<p>
<span class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b>
This option has no effect if you are not receiving mail bunched
as digests. (See Section <a href="node27.html#sec:digest">8.1</a> for more information on
receiving mail as digests.)</span>
<p>
To set your digest type using the web interface:
<ol>
<li>Log in to your member options page. (See Section <a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a>
for more details on how to do this.)
</li>
<li>Look for the section marked "Get MIME or Plain Text Digests?."
<p>
Set it to "MIME" to receive digests in MIME format, or "Plain text" to
receive digests in plain text format.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
This can also be changed for multiple lists at the same time if you are subscribed to
more than one list on the same domain. See Section <a href="node34.html#sec:global">10.1</a> for
information about changing settings globally.
<p>
To set your digest type using the email interface,
<ol>
<li>Send a mail to <span class="email">LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN</span> with the command
<var>set digest plain</var> or <var>set digest mime</var>.
<p>
Commands can appear
in either the body or the subject of the message. (See
Section <a href="node10.html#sec:email">3.2</a> for more information about sending mail
commands.)
</li>
<li>Set it to "plain" to get posts bundled into a plain text digest,
or "mime" to get posts bundled together into a MIME digest.
</li>
</ol>

<br>
9 Mailing list topics
</h1>
<p>
Some lists are set up so that different topics are handled by Mailman.
For example, the courses list on Linuxchix.org is a discussion list for
courses being run by linuxchix members, and often there are several courses
being run at the same time.
(eg: Networking for beginners, C programming, <span class="LaTeX">LaTeX</span> document mark up.)
Each of the courses being run is a separate topic on the list so that people
can choose only to receive the course they want to take.
<p>
These
topics must be configured by the list administrator, but it is the
responsibility of each poster to make sure that their post is put with
the correct topic. Usually, this means adding a tag of some type to the
subject line (eg: [Networking] What type of cables do I need?) or making
sure the <span class="mailheader">Keywords:</span> line has the right information. (By default,
you can put a <span class="mailheader">Keywords:</span> section in the beginning of the body
of your message, but this can be configured by your list administrator.)
Note that these tags are case-insensitive.

<p>
This document is intended to help the members of a Mailman 2.1 mailing list
learn to use the features available to them. It covers the use of the
web and email interfaces for subscribing and unsubscribing, changing
member options, getting password reminders and other subscriber-level
tasks. It also answers some common questions of interest to Mailman list
members.
<p>
Information for list and site administrators is provided in
other documents.
<p>
This document need not be read in order. If you are simply looking for
an answer to a specific question, jump to the appropriate place and
references to other sections will be provided if necessary or potentially
helpful.
<p>
<span class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b>
For the purposes of this document,
we assume that the reader is familiar with common terms related to email (eg:
Subject line, body of the message) and web sites (eg: drop-down box, button) or
can look them up. We also assume that the reader can already use his or her
email program and web browser well enough that instructions such as "send email

<br>
9.1 How do I make sure that my post has the right
topic?
</h2>
<p>
When a list administrator defines a topic, he or she sets three things:
<ul>
<li>a topic name
</li>
<li>a regular expression (regexp)
</li>
<li>a description
</li>
</ul>
<p>
You can view this information by logging in to your member options page.
(See Section <a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a> for more details on how to do this.) and
clicking on the "details" link for any topic that interests you.
<p>
To post on a given topic, you need to make sure that the
<span class="mailheader">Keywords:</span> or <span class="mailheader">Subject:</span> headers in a message
match the <em>regular expression</em> for that topic.
Regular expressions can actually be fairly complex, so you may want to
just ask the list administrator if you don't know how to make
heads or tails of the expression given.
<p>
Most Mailman topic expressions will be fairly simple regular expressions, so
in this document we will simply give you some common examples. Regular
expressions are a bit too complex to teach in a few lines here, so if you
really want to understand how the regular expressions work, you should
find a tutorial or reference elsewhere. (For example, DevShed has a decent
tutorial at
<a class="url" href="http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/Administration/RegExp/">http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/Administration/RegExp/</a>)
<p>
Here are some examples of possible regular expressions and matching lines:
<p>
<div class="center"><table class="realtable">
<thead>
<tr>
<th class="left" >Regular expression</th>
<th class="left" >Matching lines</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr><td class="left" valign="baseline">zuff</td>
<td class="left" >Keywords: zuff</td></tr>
<tr><td class="left" valign="baseline">zuff</td>
<td class="left" >Keywords: ZUFF</td></tr>
<tr><td class="left" valign="baseline">zuff</td>
<td class="left" >Keywords: Zuff</td></tr>
<tr><td class="left" valign="baseline">zuff</td>
<td class="left" >Keywords: amaryllis, zuff, applesauce</td></tr>
<tr><td class="left" valign="baseline">zuff</td>
<td class="left" >Subject: [zuff] Do you have the right stuff for zuff?</td></tr>
<tr><td class="left" valign="baseline">zuff</td>
<td class="left" >Subject: Do you have the right stuff for zuff?</td></tr>
<tr><td class="left" valign="baseline">zuff</td>
<td class="left" >Subject: What is zuff?</td></tr>
<tr><td class="left" valign="baseline">\[zuff\]</td>
<td class="left" >Keywords: [zuff]</td></tr>
<tr><td class="left" valign="baseline">\[zuff\]</td>
<td class="left" >Subject: [zuff] Do you have the right stuff?</td></tr>
<tr><td class="left" valign="baseline">\[zuff\]</td>
<td class="left" >Subject: Online zuff tutorials (was Re: [zuff] What is zuff?)</td></tr></tbody>
</table></div>
<p>
A few notes:
<ul>
<li>The matching is case-insensitive, so if zuff matches, so will ZUFF,
zuFF, and any other variations in capitalization.
</li>
<li>Some characters have special meaning in a regular expression, so
to match those characters specifically, they must be "escaped" with a
backslash (\). As you can see in the above example,
[ and ] are such characters. (Others include ".", "?", and "*").
The backslash is also used for other things (I wasn't kidding about
regular expressions being complex: consult other documentation
for details about other uses of the backslash character), but this
is the most likely use in a topic expression.
</li>
</ul>

9.2 How do I subscribe to all or only some topics on a
list?
</h2>
<p>
If topics have been set up by your mailing list administrator, you can
choose to subscribe to only part of a list by selecting the topics you
want to receive.
<p>
If you wish to get all messages sent to the list, make sure you
are not subscribed to any topics.
<p>
<ol>
<li>Log in to your member options page. (See Section <a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a>
for more details on how to do this.)
</li>
<li>Look for the section marked "Which topic categories would you like
to subscribe to?"
<p>
If any topics are defined, you can select those you wish. If you do
not select any topics of interest, you will receive all posts
sent to the list.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
You probably also want to look at Section <a href="node32.html#sec:notopic">9.3</a> which discusses
changing your settings for messages where no topic is set.

9.3 How do I get or avoid getting messages with no topic set?
</h2>
If you wish to get all messages sent to the list, make sure you are
not subscribed to any specific topic. (See Section <a href="node31.html#sec:sometopic">9.2</a>.)
<p>
If you are only subscribed to some topics, you can either choose to either
receive or not receive messages with no topic set, much the way you can
choose to subscribe only to certain topics.
<p>
To change this setting,
<ol>
<li>Log in to your member options page. (See Section <a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a>
for more details on how to do this.)
</li>
<li>Look for the section marked "Do you want to receive message that do
not match any topic filter?"
<p>
If you wish to receive messages with no topic set, select "Yes." If you
do not wish to receive such messages, choose "No."
</li>
</ol>
<p>
This setting has no effect if you are not subscribed to any topics.

10.1 Change Globally? Set Globally? What does that mean?
</h2>
<p>
For some of the options given in your member options page, there is a
tick-box which says "Change Globally" or "Set Globally."
This means that if you change this
option, you can also have the change made for all your other list
subscriptions with the same address to lists on the same domain.
This can be handy if, for example, you
want to make sure all your passwords are the same, or you are going on
vacation and want to turn off mail delivery from all the lists.

<h2><a name="SECTION0021030000000000000000">
10.3 How do I set my preferred language?</a>
</h2>
<p>
Mailman is available with many different languages.
(For a complete listing see <a class="url" href="http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Languages">http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Languages</a>.) This means that, if your list has
other languages enabled, you may be able to have the web interface, etc. in a
language of your choice.
<p>
<span class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b>
This does NOT necessarily mean that all the posts sent to the list will
be in the language you selected. Only the pre-prepared texts presented by
Mailman will be affected by this setting. Posts are in whatever language the
poster uses.</span>
<p>
Your preferred language is set when you subscribe (see
Section<a href="node13.html#sec:subscribe">5.1</a>), and can be changed later if the list supports
more than one language.
<p>
To change your preferred language in Mailman,
<ol>
<li>Log in to your member options page. (See Section <a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a> for
instructions on how to do this.)
</li>
<li>Go to the section marked "What language do you prefer?" and choose
the appropriate language from the drop-down list. If there is no
drop-down list of languages, the list you are on probably only supports
one language.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
If your list does not support the language you would prefer to use, you may
contact the list administrator (LISTNAME-owner@DOMAIN) to see if it can be
added, but remember that this may mean some work that the list and/or site
administrator(s) do not have time or the ability to do.
<p>
If your language of choice is not available because no translation
exists for Mailman, please consider volunteering your time as a translator.
For more information you may want to consult the mailman-i18n mailing
list at <a class="url" href="http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-i18n">http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-i18n</a>.
(i18n is a common short-hand for "internationalization" because the word starts
with an i, ends with an n, and has 18 letters in between. If you mumble a bit,
i18n even sounds a bit like "internationalization.")

<br>
10.4 How do I avoid having my name appear on the subscribers list?
(the hide option)
</h2>
<p>
If you do not want to have your email address show up on the subscriber list
for any reason, you can opt to have it concealed.
<p>
Common reasons for doing this include avoiding unsolicited bulk email (spam).
By default, the subscribers list is obscured to hinder spam harvesters,
but if you feel this is insufficient it's easy enough to remove address
from the subscriber list given in the information pages or by email request.
(Note that this does not conceal your address from the list administrators.)
You may wish to see Section <a href="node40.html#sec:antispam">11.2</a> for more information on what
Mailman can do to help avoid spam.
<p>
To change this setting using the web interface:
<ol>
<li>Log in to your member options page. (See Section <a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a> for
instructions on how to do this.)
</li>
<li>Go to the section marked "Conceal yourself from subscriber list?" and
choose "Yes" to hide your name from the list, or "No" to allow your name
to appear on the list.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
To change this setting using the email interface:
<ol>
<li>Send a mail to <span class="email">LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN</span> with the command
<var>set hide on</var> or <var>set hide off</var>.
<p>
Commands can appear
in either the body or the subject of the message. (See
Section <a href="node10.html#sec:email">3.2</a> for more information about sending mail
commands.)
</li>
<li>Set it to "on" to conceal your email address from the membership
list, or "off" to stop concealing your address.
</li>
</ol>

<h2><a name="SECTION0021110000000000000000">
11.1 How do I view the list archives?</a>
</h2>
If the list has archives, they can be viewed by going to a web page address.
This address usually linked from the list information page and can be found in
the <span class="mailheader">List-Archive:</span> of every list message unless your list
administrator has disabled these headers. (Many mail programs hide the
<span class="mailheader">List-Archive:</span> mail header, so you may have to tell your
mail program to allow you to view full headers before you will be able to
see it.)
<p>
Public archives usually have addresses of the form
<a class="url" href="http://WEBSERVER/pipermail/LISTNAME/">http://WEBSERVER/pipermail/LISTNAME/</a> and private archives usually
have addresses of the form <a class="url" href="http://WEBSERVER/mailman/private/LISTNAME">http://WEBSERVER/mailman/private/LISTNAME</a>.
<p>
See Section <a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a> for more information on finding the addresses of a
list.

<br>
11.2 What does Mailman do to help protect me from unsolicited bulk email
(spam)?
</h2>
<p>
A technical list's archives may include answers to a range of
different questions. Often, the people who have posted these answers would
be happy to help someone who doesn't quite understand the answer, and don't
mind giving their address out for that purpose. But
although it would be wonderful if everyone could contact each other easily,
we also want to make sure that the list and list archives are not abused by
people who send spam.
<p>
To make a range of options available to list administrators, Mailman allows
a variety of configurations to help protect email addresses.
Many of these settings are optional to the list administrator, so your
particular list may be set up in many ways. List administrators
must walk a fine line between protecting subscribers and making it difficult
for people to get in touch.
<p>
<ul>
<li>Subscriber lists
<ul>
<li>The list administrator can choose to have the subscriber list
public, viewable only to list members, or viewable only to list
administrators.
</li>
<li>The subscriber list is shown with the addresses obscured to
make it difficult for spam harvesters to collect your address.
</li>
<li>You can choose to have your address hidden from the subscriber
list. (See Section <a href="node37.html#sec:nolist">10.4</a> for more information.)
</li>
<li><span class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b>
The entire subscriber list is always available to the
list administrators.</span>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
</li>
<li>List archives
<ul>
<li>The list administrator can choose for the archives to be public,
viewable only to members (private), or completely unavailable.
</li>
<li>The HTML archives which are created by Pipermail (the
archiving program which comes default with Mailman) contain only
obscured addresses. Other archiving programs are available and can
do different levels of obfuscation to make addresses less readable.
</li>
<li>If you wish to be more sure, you can set the mail header
<span class="mailheader">X-no-archive:</span> and Mailman will not archive your posts.
<span class="warning"><b class="label">Warning:</b>
This does not stop other members from quoting your posts,
possibly even including your email address.</span>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
</li>
<li>Limited posting to the lists
<ul>
<li>The list administrator can choose who can post to the list.
Most lists are either moderated (a moderator or administrator
reviews each posting), set so only subscribers may post to the list,
or allow anyone to post to the list.
</li>
<li>By allowing only subscribers to post to a list, Mailman often
blocks all spam and some viruses from being sent through the list.
As such, this is a fairly common setting used by list administrators.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
</li>
<li>Anonymous lists
<ul>
<li>Lists can also be made fully anonymous: all identifying
information about the sender is stripped from the header before the
message is sent on.
</li>
<li>This is not typically used for anti-spam measures (it has
other uses), but it could be used in that way if desired.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Of course, many address-obscuring methods can be circumvented by determined
people, so be aware that the protections used may not be enough.

<h2><a name="SECTION002120000000000000000">
1.2 What is a mailing list?</a>
</h2>
<p>
A mailing list is simply a list of addresses to which the same information
is being sent. 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 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 a mailing list
to let their fan base know about their upcoming concerts.
<p>
A discussion list is used to allow 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 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>

1.3 GNU Mailman</a>
</h2>
<p>
GNU Mailman is software that lets you manage electronic mailing lists. It
supports a wide range of mailing list types, such as general discussion
lists and announce-only lists. Mailman has extensive features which make it
good for list subscribers, such as easy subscription and unsubscription,
privacy options, and the ability to temporarily stop getting posts from the
list. The list member features are covered in this document.
<p>
Mailman also has many features which make it attractive to list and site
administrators. These features are covered in the list and site administrator
manuals.

2 Translating from our examples to real lists</a>
</h1>
<p>
Often, it's easier to simply give an example than explain exactly how
to find the address for your specific list. As such, we'll frequently
give examples for a fictional list called
<span class="email">LISTNAME@DOMAIN</span> whose list information page can be found at
<a class="url" href="http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME">http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME</a>.
<p>
Neither of these are
real addresses, but they show the form of a typical list address.
The capital letters used for the list-specific parts of each address should
make it easier to see what should be changed for each
list. Although specific list configurations may be different, you will
probably be able to just replace the words given in capital letters with the
appropriate values for a real list:
<p>
<dl>
<dt><strong>LISTNAME</strong></dt>
<dd>The name of your list.
</dd>
<dt><strong>DOMAIN</strong></dt>
<dd>The name of the mail server which handles that list.
</dd>
<dt><strong>WEBSERVER</strong></dt>
<dd>The name of the web server which handles the list web interface. This may be the same as DOMAIN, and often refers to the same machine, but does not have to be identical.
</dd>
</dl>
<p>
As a real-life example, if you are interested in the mailman-users list, you'd
make the following substitutions: LISTNAME=mailman-users, DOMAIN=python.org, WEBSERVER=mail.python.org. As such, for the
<span class="email">mailman-users@python.org</span>
mailing list, the list information page can be found at the URL
<a class="url" href="http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users">http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users</a>. (These, unlike
most of the examples given in this document, are real addresses.)
<p>
Most lists will have this information stored in the <span class="mailheader">List-*:</span>
headers. Many
mail programs will hide these by default, so you may have to choose to view
full headers before you can see these informational headers.

3 Mailman's interfaces</a>
</h1>
Mailman has two different interfaces for the list subscriber: the web
interface and the email interface. Most discussion list subscribers use
the email interface, since this includes the email address you use to send
mail to all the subscribers of that list.
<p>
The interface you use for changing options is largely
a matter of preference, since most (but not all) of the options which can
be changed from the web interface can also be changed by email.
Usually it is easier to use the web interface for
changing options, since the web interface provides instructions as you go, but
there are times when people may prefer the email interface, so both are
provided.

3.1 The web interface
</h2>
The web interface of Mailman is its selling point for many administrators,
since it makes it much easier for subscribers and administrators to see
which options are available, and what these options do.
<p>
Every mailing list is also accessible by a number of web pages. Note that
the exact URLs are configurable by the site administrator, so they may be
different than what's described below. We'll describe the most common
configuration, but check with your site administrator or hosting
service for details.
<p>
<dl>
<dt><strong>List information (listinfo) page</strong></dt>
<dd><ul>
<li>Usually found at <a class="url" href="http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME">http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME</a> (for example, <a class="url" href="http://lists.example.com/mailman/listinfo/mylist">http://lists.example.com/mailman/listinfo/mylist</a>)
<p>
</li>
<li>The listinfo page is the starting point for the subscriber
interface. As one would assume from the name it's given, it
contains information about the LISTNAME list.
Usually all the other subscriber pages can be accessed from this
point, so you really only need to know this one address.
<p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Member options page</strong></dt>
<dd><ul>
<li>Usually found at <a class="url" href="http://WEBSERVER/mailman/options/LISTNAME/EMAIL">http://WEBSERVER/mailman/options/LISTNAME/EMAIL</a> (For example, <a class="url" href="http://lists.example.com/mailman/options/mylist/kathy@here.com">http://lists.example.com/mailman/options/mylist/kathy@here.com</a>)
<p>
</li>
<li>This page can also be accessed by going to the listinfo page
and entering your email address into the box beside the button
marked "Unsubscribe or Edit Options" (this is near the bottom of the
page).
<p>
</li>
<li>The member options page allows you to log in/out and change your
list settings, as well as unsubscribe or get a copy of your password
mailed to you.
<p>
</li>
<li><b>To log in to your member options page</b>:
If you are not already logged in, there will be a box near the top for
you to enter your password. (If you do not know your password, see
Section <a href="node16.html#sec:getpassword">6.1</a> for more information on getting your
password.) Enter your password in the box and press the button.
<p>
</li>
<li>Once you are logged in, you will be able to view and change
all your list settings.
<p>
</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt><strong>List Archives</strong></dt>
<dd><ul>
<li>Usually found at <a class="url" href="http://WEBSERVER/pipermail/LISTNAME">http://WEBSERVER/pipermail/LISTNAME</a> if the
list is publicly archived, and
<a class="url" href="http://WEBSERVER/mailman/private/LISTNAME">http://WEBSERVER/mailman/private/LISTNAME</a> if the list is privately
archives. (For example,
<a class="url" href="http://lists.example.com/pipermail/mylist">http://lists.example.com/pipermail/mylist</a> or
<a class="url" href="http://lists.example.com/mailman/private/mylist">http://lists.example.com/mailman/private/mylist</a>)
<p>
</li>
<li>The list archive pages have copies of the posts sent to the
mailing list, usually grouped by month. In each monthly group, the
posts are usually indexed by author, date, thread, and subject.
<p>
</li>
<li><span class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b>
Pipermail is the name of the default archiver that
comes with Mailman. Other archive programs are available.</span>
<p>
</li>
<li>If the archive is private, you will need to supply your
subscribed email address and your password to log in. (See
Section <a href="node16.html#sec:getpassword">6.1</a> for more information on getting
your password.)
