Hi DL,


Check out the following help info from Mailman:


Help for Bpc270 mailing list:


This is email command help for version 2.0.13 of the "Mailman" list

manager. The following describes commands you can send to get

information about and control your subscription to Mailman lists at

this site. A command can be in the subject line or in the body of the

message.


Note that much of the following can also be accomplished via the World

Wide Web, at:


http://www.shandrow.com/mailman/listinfo/bpc270


In particular, you can use the Web site to have your password sent to

your delivery address.


List specific commands (subscribe, who, etc) should be sent to the

*-request address for the particular list, e.g. for the 'mailman'

list, use

'mailman-request@...'.


About the descriptions - words in "<<>"s signify REQUIRED items and

words in "[]" denote OPTIONAL items. Do not include the "<<>"s or

"[]"s when you use the commands.


The following commands are valid:


subscribe [password] [digest-option] [address=3D<<address>]

Subscribe to the mailing list. Your password must be given to

unsubscribe or change your options. When you subscribe to the

list, you'll be reminded of your password periodically.

'digest-option' may be either: 'nodigest' or 'digest' (no

quotes!) If you wish to subscribe an address other than the

address you send this request from, you may specify

"address=3D<<email address>" (no brackets around the email

address, no quotes!)


unsubscribe <<password> [address]

Unsubscribe from the mailing list. Your password must match

the one you gave when you subscribed. If you are trying to

unsubscribe from a different address than the one you

subscribed from, you may specify it in the 'address' field.


who

See everyone who is on this mailing list.


info

View the introductory information for this list.


lists

See what mailing lists are run by this Mailman server.


help

This message.


set <<option> <<on|off> <<password>

Turn on or off list options. Valid options are:


ack:

Turn this on to receive acknowledgement mail when you send

mail to the list.


digest:

Receive mail from the list bundled together instead of one

post at a time.


plain:

Get plain-text, not MIME-compliant, digests (only if

digest is set)


nomail:

Stop delivering mail. Useful if you plan on taking a

short vacation.


norcv:

Turn this on to NOT receive posts you send to the list.

Does not work if digest is set.


hide:

Conceals your address when people look at who is on this

list.


options

Show the current values of your list options.


password <<oldpassword> <<newpassword>

Change your list password.


end or --

Stop processing commands (good to do if your mailer

automatically adds a signature file - it'll save you from a lot

of cruft).

Hi DL and Patrick,


As far as I am aware, in the default Mailman implementation, it is not

possibly to create a new list from scratch using the web interface.

Once

created, all management functions can be performed from the web, but

the

newlist command (run as root) must be run in order to do the initial

work,

and the specified output from that command must be added to

/etc/aliases,

which must then be hashed... This is usually accomplished with the

newalias

utility...

I ran all my scripts as root(yeah I know)

/var/mailman/bin/newlist $listname

from the cl. Are you trying to create a list from a web interface?
