Mailing Lists set up and management:
 cPanel
includes a popular mailing list script called Mailman. 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.
The Mailman homepage is at the following address
for more information: http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman.html
Note: It is a good idea to be aware of spam
and its definition before setting up a mailing list - refer to Blocking
email for more information.
To add a mailing list:
- Click on the Mailing Lists link in the
Mail Menu area.
- Enter the name of the mailing list in the List
Name field, the password for the list in the Password
field, and the domain it is for in the Domain drop-down
list.
- Click on the 'Add' button. The list is created
in the /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/lists folder.
Editing a mailing list:
There are many different configurable options available with the Mailman
script. This procedure shows you how to open up the Administration
panel so that you can modify the script options. Use the Mailman documentation
that is included in the Administration panel to answer any specific
questions you might have.
To edit a mailing list:
- Click on the Lists link in the Mail Menu
area.
- Click on the
button.
- Log in to the mailing list with your password.
You are now in the Mailman Administration panel and can adjust
options as you require.
Deleting a mailing list:
Delete a Mailman mailing list when you no longer want the list to
be active.
Warning: Deleting the mailing list will
delete all archives, current mail, and members email addresses.
If you want to keep any of this information, be sure to download
or otherwise copy these files before deleting the mailing list.
Once the mailing list is deleted the information is unrecoverable.
To delete a mailing list:
- Click on the Lists link in the Mail Menu
area.
