Only tool/resource administrators can administer mailing lists. From the Tool/Resource Admin page, click "Mailing Lists Admin" in the Tool Admin section; from the tool/resource pages, click the "Mailing Lists" menu link, then click "Admin" at the top of the page. This brings you to the Lists Admin page, where the following options are available to you:
- Add Mailing List: Clicking "Add Mailing List" will allow you to create a new mailing list. Please use a short, but meaningful name for your list. The name cannot contain spaces or any characters or symbols that are invalid for an e-mail address. You can specify if the list is to be made public (people who are not members of the tool or resource can see and/or join the list) or not (only tool/resource members can see and/or join the list). You should also add a description of the list to guide people in posting appropriate messages. You will receive an e-mail with the administrative password to manage the settings for the mailing list. (It may take up to 24 hours for your new list to be created.)
- Update Lists: Clicking "Update" allows you to change the description of the list and whether or not it is available to the public. Simply make the desired change and click the "Update" button. If you would like to remove the mailing list, click the "Permanently Delete List" link, and then check the checkboxes and click the "Permanently Delete" button. (Note: It takes the system an hour to properly delete a mailing list. Do not try to recreate the list within an hour of deleting it; the system will just create it and delete it simultaneously.)
- Administrate Lists: Clicking "Administrate" allows you use GNU Mailman to add members to the mailing list, set the properties of the list, set posting policies, and so forth. Please refer to GNU Mailman list manager documentation for more information.
