"openSUSE Linux Unleashed"

Recently, an open source
package called Mailman has pulled an increasing share of the traffic.
For users, Mailman provides a consistent, web-based interface for managing their own
participation, including subscribing/unsubscribing, getting a daily digest of postings,
accessing the list archives, turning off the list for vacations, and so on. List administrators
get many automated tools that make their jobs easier and less time consuming. Mailman
is one of three list-management tools included in openSUSE (the others are Majordomo
and mlmmj).
Mailman keeps track of all subscribers and watches for (and deals with) bouncing messages
to some subscribers. It also generates the list archives, if the administrator asks it to.
There is always at least one administrator or moderator for any list??”perhaps that is you.
That person has access to a special, password-protected administrative web page; there,
you can perform your list-god duties, including the following:
. Manually adding or deleting members, either because you??™re a nice person or your
hand has been forced.
