• Allow any non-member from a specific domain to post to your list
• Approve or Discard messages being held for approval
• Change your admin password
• Import the "Welcome Message" from your old list
• Pass the administrative duties to another
• Remove current members and add new ones
• Stop getting moderator / authorization emails
• Subscribe users to your list
• View the subscriber list of a list

1. Open the administrative interface to your list and log in.
   (by going to a URL like this one:
   http://coyote.csusm.edu/mailman/admin/[listname]
   but where [listname] is the name of your mailing list)
2. Click the link "Privacy options..." (first link in the second column from the left)
3. Click the sub-link "Sender filters" that appears.
4. In the "List of non-member addresses whose postings should be automatically accepted." box, add something like:
   ^[^@]+@(.*\.)?csusm\.edu$
   [where "edu" is the top level domain and "csusm" is the subdomain]
   This will allow all non-members from "csusm.edu" to be automatically allowed to post to your list.
5. Click the Submit Your Changes button.

Note: This sort of thing could be used in any of the boxes used to filter emails for your list.  You could use this logic to deny (reject, automatically discard, etc) all non-members from a certain domain from posting to your list.

You are receiving these messages daily, because your mailing list has messages being held for your approval (as the list administrator).  To Stop them:

1. Open the administrative interface to your list and log in.
   (by going to a URL like this one:
   http://coyote.csusm.edu/mailman/admindb/[listname]
   but where [listname] is the name of your mailing list)
2. When prompted, use your administrative password for this list.
3. Decide whether the messages that are being held should be Accepted (sent to list members) or Discarded.

Note: You may also want to check the box to add the sender to a filter list (I add spammers to the Discards list; so I never have to deal with them again).

1. Open the administrative interface to your list and log in.
   (by going to a URL like this one:
   http://coyote.csusm.edu/mailman/admin/[listname]
   but where [listname] is the name of your mailing list)
2. Use the link (top left) called "Passwords"
3. From the Passwords page, enter and confirm your new administrator password, and click "Submit Your Changes"

1. Open the administrative interface to your list and log in.

2. Remove the email addresses of past list administrator(s) from the "The list administrator email addresses" field (second from the top).
3. Add the email addresses of new list administrator(s) into this field.
4. Give the new list administrator(s) the admin password and instruct them to change it using the "Passwords" link at the top left of the admin login interface.

Note: Now only they are notified regarding list issues, and only they have the admin-password.

1. Open the email sent to you, that contains the text of your old welcome message.
2. Open the web interface where you can "configure your mailing list" (the link for this interface is in the other email that was sent to you, the one that has the password to mange your list using Mailman).
   1. Login to the mailing list administration page (using the link and password in the email, see #2, above).
      Note: You will find yourself in the "General Options" section of your list administration pages.
3. Copy "mission specific" parts of your old welcome message (Do not copy the generic welcome text; Mailman has its own general welcome text that is sent to new subscribers of your list).
4. Paste the mission specific parts into the text field "List-specific text prepended to new-subscriber welcome message" on the General Options page (you logged on to this web page in #2.a, above)
5. Scroll to the bottom of the General Options page and click the button to "Submit Your Changes."

Note: There are all kinds of cool features you can add to your mailing lists in Mailman.  We recommend you spend some time looking over the List Administration Manual and configuring your list so it does just what you want it to do.

5. Click the "Submit Your Changes" button.
