Mailman: Create a Mailing List

Question

How do I create a mailing list in Mailman (at lists.uoregon.edu)?

Solution

1. Go to Create a List and sign in using your Duck ID credentials.
   • Alternatively, you can go to the Mailing Lists Portal and click on the Create A New List link.
2. Complete the Create a New Mailing List form:
   • Name of list: Create a name for your list. This list name can be anything that is not currently being used by another list. The list name is not case-sensitive. Only letters, numbers, and the symbols dash and underscore may be used in the list name.
   • Initial list owner address: Type your email address as the initial list owner.
   • Initial list password: Create a list password. For security reasons, this password should differ from your other passwords. It should have a mixture of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers.
   • List Characteristics: It's a good idea to moderate new list members' posts; check the button next to Yes.
3. Once you've filled out the form, click the Create List button.
