You can change the way the list works by dis/allowing people to subscribe
themselves, creating a digest version of the list, enabling headers and
footers for all mail going out on the list, and other things.
Modifying the List
1. Go to the Configuration Tool web page,
http://aries.azstarnet.com/admin/config.html.
2. For "List-Owner E-Mail Address" enter in your username (assuming you
are the list owner).
3. For "ListServ Password" enter in the current list password.
4. For "List Address" enter in the name of the list (the mailing address
for the list).
5. Below this are the actual parameters you can set:
Force Subscribe
If enabled (set as "yes") and someone not
currently on the list sends mail to the list, they will be
subscribed and get any future mailings from the list. The default
setting is "no".
Auto Subscribe
Moderated
If set to "yes", a submission to the list must
be approved by a moderator before going out to the list. You must
set up a list of moderators before
setting the list to be moderated. The default is "no".
CC Requests
If set to "yes", all subscribe and help
requests are carbon copied to the list owner. (SmartList still
handles the requests, but the owner can see the request.) The
default is "no".
Digest
A digest is a special form of mailing list. It
holds submissions until the total reaches a certain size or after a
certain period of time and then sends all the accumulated posts.
This could be useful for a list of poetry submissions or something
else not involving adialogue. The default is "no".
Digest Age
Sets the length of time since the last digest
was mailed before being sent out again (if it hasn't reached the
specified digest size). The default is "262,144 seconds" (about
three days).
Digest Size
Sets a size for the digest file. If it reaches
that size before the digest age, the mail will be sent out early.
The default is "32,768 bytes".
Header
If set to "yes", whatever is entered by the
list owner for the
header is sent at the
top of every email message going out on the list. The default is
"no".
Footer
If set to "yes", whatever is entered by the
list owner for the
footer is sent at the
bottom of every mail message going out on the list. The default is
"no".
6. Once you've set all the options you want, click on Submit.
7. You will be taken to a page saying that the change has been made or
will explain why it wasn't accepted (such as "incorrect password").
