The Modify List screen

This is the screen used to modify the tools of your mailing list.  Most of this screen will be set up correctly be default for most needs.  This is accessed through the main panel.

The list owner is the email address that sends out the mailing list.  This is not usually an address that is going to be replied to.

Add the text that will appear in the email subject line.

This determines who posts to the list.  Usually the moderator approves all the posted messages before they are sent to the list.  In the above example, subscribers that are approved can post messages.

The replies to a posted message should go to an email address that is used to correspond with members or subscribers.

A trailer giving the recipient list information is included in the mail out.  A digest version can be created for those subscribers who sign up for the list in digest form. Subscribe/unsubscribe links are given and are standard.  These are usually checked.

This allows remote access to the list.  The list admin can be accessed from any computer that is online.  The list should be private where only those with permission have access.

This provides admin functionality through remote access.

Subscriber confirmation is provided by an email being sent to the email address given in subscription requests.  Approval is also required by a moderator.  Verification is determined upon receipt of email to subscription request.  This prevents someone from signing up someone who is not requesting subscription.

An archive of the list is created and is usually only accessed by moderators.  ezmlm-cgi applies to MySQL settings.
