Conrad, you are now an administrator and a moderator of this list. You can
go to the login url listed below to see various settings and information
about the list.
Be careful about changing the settings!
I haven't explored it in it's entirety yet.
One thing I did was attempt to post to the list as "phonyname@xxxxxxxx" (in
otherwords, as someone who wasn't subcribed to the list. As the list
moderator, I received an automated response informing me that
"phonyname@xxxxxxxx" had attempted to post to the list, and a copy of the
message was included. I suppose in the real world, the correct thing to do
would be to send a message explaining to "phonyname&home.com" the
subcription procedure. Also, there may be a way to automatically send a
response with our own words. I'll look into that. There are about a dozen
text files on the listserver we can edit and use for our own automation. So
far they are all blank except the welcome message you should have received
when you subcribed. Did you get that message?
You can respond to this message by addressing email to
redwoodmen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; or just hit the "reply" button if your email
program has one.

Subject: Your FreeLists Mailing List
Welcome to the FreeLists community!
Your FreeLists mailing list is ready for use. Please read this document
carefully and keep it for future reference.
All functions of your list can be controlled through the web by logging in
at //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi. To take full advantage of
all FreeLists features, please login and take a look around. Many special
features that may appeal to your users are not turned on by default.
Please send a test message to your list to make sure things are
functioning correctly.
Some important starter info:
- To post on your mailing list, simply send email to
redwoodmen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
- Users can subscribe to your list by sending email to
redwoodmen-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR
by logging into the Web interface. The web-based administration suite
allows you to add subscribers manually. If you have a large list (i.e.,
thousands of users), feel free to email staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with your
subscriber list -- we can add your subscribers manually (see below).
- Users can unsubscribe from your list by sending email to
redwoodmen-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field
OR by logging into the Web interface. Do not unsubscribe from your own
list -- doing so will render you unable to make configuration changes and
perform other administrative tasks.
- Full documentation of the online administration system is available at
//www.freelists.org/help/. We encourage you to get the most out of
the web interfaces, and we encourage subscribers to do the same. Please
let your list members know about the advantages of exploring the FreeLists
Web Login. As an administrator, you can configure site preferences through
the FreeLists Portal Administrator, and list preferences through the
administrative portion of the FreeLists Web Login. See
//www.freelists.org/login.html for more information.
- View your list's information at //www.freelists.org/list/redwoodmen
and your list's webpage (once you set it up) at
//www.freelists.org/webpage/redwoodmen
- Online, searchable archives of your list are available at
//www.freelists.org/archives/redwoodmen Each list's archive is
automatically updated as new messages come in.
- You can have a webpage on FreeLists to advertise your mailing list and
to provide general information and such for potential subscribers. Please
see //www.freelists.org/webpage.html for further information.
- The FreeLists Portal provides surfers with a way of finding yours and
other lists. Get started at //www.freelists.org/lists.html.
- There's a FAQ at //www.freelists.org/help/faq.html that you might
want to let your subscribers in on.
- There are some general guidlines to configuring your list at
//www.freelists.org/help/recommended-config.html Any other questions
should be routed to freelists-users, described below.
- You will automatically be subscribed to the freelists-users support
mailing list. If you have general questions about FreeLists, it might be a
good idea to post them there. You should expect minimal traffic from this
list, and as a list owner, it's a *very* good idea to stay subscribed.
However, if you'd like to unsubscribe, simply send email to
freelists-users-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject.
See //www.freelists.org/webpage/freelists-users for more info.
- You will automatically be subscribed to the freelists-news mailing list.
This announce-only list will provide you with the latest updates at
FreeLists. You should expect minimal traffic from this list, and as a list
owner, it's a very good idea to stay subscribed.
- You are eligible to signup for the FreeLists Tips mailing list, a forum
for suggesting and learning tips and suggestions on how to better run
mailing lists at FreeLists. For more information, see
//www.freelists.org/list/freelists-tips
- Got a large subscriber list? We can help you subscribe them all!
Subscribing 10,000 users through the web interface can be quite a hassle
and take a long time. We can do it for you behind-the-scenes: just email
staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxx your subscriber list (in a plain text file, one email
address only per line) and we'll subscribe the users manually.
- We understand that you'll probably want to send some test messages to
your new list to try out the features before putting the list into
production. These messages will appear in the archives, so we've provided
a feature that allows you to remove specific messages at will. Just log in
to the Portal Administrator and go to "Archive Settings."
If you have any questions or comments, at any point, please feel free to
contact us by visiting //www.freelists.org/contact.html.
