10. How do I Set-up Subscribable Mail Lists? - Top

 

A subscribable mailing list is one that people may join on their own, without the need for you to manually enter their email address. Subscribable mailing lists are generally focused on a particular topic of interest, such as programming, science fiction, or coin collecting. When one member of the list sends an email to the list, all members of that list get a copy.

Note: Only emails of 75KB or less can be sent to the subscribable mail list.
bulletEmail Address to Subscribe: This is the address people will email to join your list. You need to simply add a note to your web page such as "to subscribe to this maillist send email to anyname@yourdomainname.org". You may use any name you like, but it should be different from the name you give the list itself. Enter only the name or title, such as join or info.
bulletName Of Maillist: This may be whatever you like but should not be the same, as the name users must email TO to subscribe.
Message Subscribers Receive: This is the message new subscribers will receive to confirm their subscription.
bulletView/Edit Subscribable Maillists: Use this option to view or edit an existing maillist.
bulletEdit or Delete: Select the function you wish to perform for a particular list. Remember, deletions are permanent and cannot be reversed or undone.
If you select to Edit a list, the current message and members of the list will be displayed for you. You can add or delete members from the list and edit the confirmation message. When you are finished editing your list be sure to click on the "View/Edit Subscribable Maillists" button to save your changes.
