Managing Anderson Email Listservs

Please note: As of June 2022 the website used to manage Anderson email listservs has been updated. The instructions below are for the new system.

I. Listserv Types

Announcement-type: Only allow members in the Sender list to send to the listserv. All other users are moderated so that any email they send to the list goes into the moderation pool until a moderator or admin goes in and releases it. ALL USERS BOTH SUBSCRIBED TO THE LIST AND IN THE SENDER FILTER LIST MUST HAVE MOD UNCHECKED UNDER MEMBERSHIP MANAGEMENT TO SEND EMAILS TO THE LIST.
Discussion-type: Anyone subscribed to the list can send to the list. Anyone on the sender list can send to the list.

Non-members can send email to a listserv without having to be a member and will not receive emails from that listserv.

Go to Users > Non-members.
To add non-member, input the email address into the Email Address field and, optionally, input the name into the Display Name field. Click Add nonmember.

To delete an admin, click the "Delete" button next to their address in the Non-member roster.

Admins can manage the list.

Go to Users > Owners.
To add a list admin, input the email address into the Email Address field and, optionally, input the name into the Display Name field. Click Add owner.
Note: If the new admin is not already an admin or moderator on another list, then they will be sent a verification email when they try to log into Mailman next. They must verify with that email before they can manage the list.

To delete an admin, click the "Delete" button next to their address in the Owner roster.
