Open your browser to http://localhost/admin to see the Mailman web interface. Now you
can create and administer lists.
CHAPTER 16 Collaborating with Others 350
To run Mailman shell commands, change directories to /usr/lib/mailman/bin and then
run your command. For example, to create a new list, type the following:
./newlist
The dot-slash is there because the commands are purposely left out of your path for security
reasons.
When you create a new list, you??™ll be prompted to name the list (use all lowercase letters)
and give the email address of the list owner. Mailman will send a confirming email to the
owner you name. You establish the initial list password in this sequence as well.
You can find the documentation for Mailman in /usr/share/doc/packages/mailman.
You??™ll find README files that cover potential problems with various mail transfer agents
and operating systems and the current Frequently Asked Questions list. More formal
documentation, tailored to different types of users, is at
http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/docs.html. You can read this online or download
the PDF or plain-text versions.
