Adding Mailing List

  1. Go to Mail menu > Maillists. You can see the list of your maillists if you have any.
  2. Click on the Add New Maillist button. The Add Maillist window opens. Here you need to specify maillist's email address, owner and moderator email addresses. Here you should type message texts that (i) prospective users will receive when they request information from Majordomo about the maillist and (ii) the information you would like newly subscribed members to know about the list administration policies, etc. This window contains several sections and fields:
    • Main section
      • Email address field – enter a email address that will be used to send messages to the maillist. You can choose the one-domain or all-domain address format for the address.

        Important: The current implementation of the qmail service does not allow the using of special characters in the local part of the email addresses except dots that are not the first or last character, dashes and underlines. The using of other special characters is restricted in order to avoid conflicts, since symbols like '&' or ':' are widely used by the source routing syntax and UNIX shell commands.

      • Show in Global Address Book – this option is available only if your subscription includes a webmail service supporting the Global Address Book visibility management for maillists. It allows to sync and show this maillist address in Webmail Global Address Book.
    • Advanced features section
      • Enable virus checking – mark the checkbox if you wish to check maillist messages on viruses.
    • Maillist owners section
      • Email addresses field – enter email addresses for maillist owners using 'Enter', 'Semicolon', 'Comma' or 'Space' as a separator.
    • Maillist moderators section
      • Email addresses field – enter email addresses for maillist moderators using 'Enter', 'Semicolon', 'Comma' or 'Space' as a separator.
    • Maillist members section
      • Email addresses field – enter email addresses for maillist members using 'Enter', 'Semicolon', 'Comma' or 'Space' as a separator.
    • Maillist info section
      • Maillist info content field – this section contains the text of the message containing general information on a mailing list.
    • Maillist intro section
      • Maillist intro content – this section contains text of an introductory message sent out to newly subscribed maillist members.
  3. Click the Submit button. The Maillists window opens. The newly created maillist appears in the list. Use the Refresh button to update the status of the new maillist.

After a maillist is created, you can edit the maillist configuration by clicking on the maillist's name.

Note: In case your subscription includes Open-Xchange webmail access, all actions with maillists address (creating, changing, deleting) will be synced with Open-Xchange Global Address Book.
