List Type

Required. Select the type of list you want to create. This selection will have a significant impact on your default list settings. The list types are:

Announcement List (email sent from one person to many), moderated

All list settings will be appropriate for a moderated announcement list. The list will be configured so only administrators may send email to the list. If members reply to the message, their responses will go to the message’s author. Messages sent to the list generally must be moderated before they will be sent, unless they are sent using the Send Message option with no moderation selected. The list settings may be changed later in the List Info page.

Discussion List (email sent to and from many people), moderated

All list settings will be appropriate for a moderated discussion list. The list will be configured so that all list members may send email to the list. If members reply to the message, their responses will go to the list. Messages sent to the list must be moderated by an administrator, unless they are sent by an administrator using the Send Message option with no moderation selected. The list settings may be changed later in the List Info page.

Discussion List (email sent to and from many people), unmoderated

All list settings will be appropriate for an unmoderated discussion list. The list will be configured so that all list members may send email to the list. If members reply to the message, their responses will go to the list. No messages sent to the list will be moderated, unless sent by an administrator using the Send Message option with moderation selected. The list settings may be changed later in the List Info page.

Note that lists without moderation may be subject to spamming and flame wars, and are only recommended for small, self-controlled lists.
