How do I setup a mailing list?
|
What is the mailing list?
This is the small version of the majordomo mailing list program. It works exactly the same. If you want your visitors to be able to talk to each other and communicate with each other via a mailing list then use this feature.
How do I subscribe to a mailing list?
To subscribe to mailinglist@domain.com, send and EMPTY e-mail to
mailinglist-subscribe@domain.com. You will recieve a confirmation
e-mail back from the mailing list letting you know how to confirm
your subscribing to that mailing list.
How do I unsubscribe from a mailing list?
To unsubscribe to mailinglist@domain.com, send and EMPTY e-mail
to mailinglist-unsubcribe@domain.com. Then reply to the confirm
e-mail. You will then be sent another e-mail letting you know that
you were removed from that mailing list.
How do I send messages to a mailing list?
If the mailing list name was mailinglist@domain.com, all you would
need to do is send an e-mail to mailinglist@domain.com with a
subject and a message in the body of the e-mail. If your message
isnt accepted by the mailing list, then it will send your e-mail back
telling you why it failed.
How do I reply to a message on a mailing list?
On most mailing lists they require you to only reply to the original
sender of that message. To do this use your e-mail program and
do reply-to-sender. If you want all the people in the list to recieve
your message do a reply-to-all in your e-mail program.
