List Name

The name of the mailing list. This name is the official Mailing List Name - it is what both administrators and users will see in correspondence to the list. It also defines the email address for list mail. For example, if the name is jazz-discuss and the Site's host name is minerva.example.com, the mailing list's email address will be

 

jazz-discuss@minerva.example.com

 

Rename List

Clicking this button makes the list name editable. Enter the new list name and description, and click Save. Available for site and server administrators only.

 

Renaming a list may take a long time, depending on the number of members, documents, segments, archives etc. that need to be renamed in order to remain associated with this list. Renaming a list may slow mailings currently being processed.

 

List Description

(required) A very short description of the mailing list, which may be visible to users. Do not use any commas or "<" or ">" characters in your description.

 

When email goes out from the list, this description can be in the email message. For example, if the Description is Jazz Discussion, the Reply-To: field for the mailing list email address will be:

 

Reply-To: Jazz Discussion <jazz-discuss@minerva.example.com>
