By using MailMan you can set up a mailing list which will send out e-mails
to a predetermined list of people. This is an idea for organizations
which e-mail newsletters monthly or even for individuals who would like
to send updates on their life to a group. Follow these easy steps
to have your own mailing list.
1. From the Add Block Menu on the Edit Column/Header/Footer bar, choose Add Feature.
2. From the menu that appears choose MailMan. A popup window will appear.
3. Name of your list. When those in your list receive an e-mail
this is what will appear in the e-mail address line. Make sure it
is a name that describes well what you are looking to do. If you are
sending out a newsletter you might want to put the word
newsletter. When it is sent it will read
newsletteryourorganization.com.
4. Official list owner address. This should be your e-mail
address. This will give you the power to add and remove who will
be in your mailing list.
5. Initial list password. Think of a password you can easily remember.
6. Once you depress the Create List button a message should appear at
the top of your screen saying the list was successfully created and an
e-mail will be sent to you.
7. You will receive two e-mails, one that confirms your request for a
mailing list and the other, which contains two links. The first
link is so you can login and monitor who uses your mailing list.
The other link is for users to subscribe to your mailing list.
