5. SmartList: Setup Mailing List

How do I set up a new mailing list?

(1) Go to your Mail Manager (http://yourdomain.com/menu)

(2) Create a list in Mail Manager by clicking on "New List".

(3) Add the name of the list. You'll get a message giving you instructions, repeated later in this FAQ.

(4) Click "edit list" and you're asked to add the maintainer, password, and max # e-mails archived.

The maintainer is the e-mail of the person in charge of the list
The password is the list password
Max # e-mails archived is the number of the most recent "back-issues" to be saved, and sent when someone requests the most recent e-mails sent to your mailing list.

From the Mail Manager, you have access to "Mailing List Manager," also called "Xcommand" (from the name of the program in UNIX). This is a mailing list administration program.
