3 Mailing Lists
Mailing lists distribute a single email message to multiple recipients. Mailing lists differ
from workgroups in a few fundamental ways. First, mailing lists are not linked to file or
directory permissions. Mailing lists can be administered by someone other than the
workgroup or server administrator. More importantly, mailing list subscribers do not
have to have any kind of account (mail or file access) on the list’s server; any email
address can be added to the list. Finally, list subscribers can often remove themselves
from lists, and add themselves to lists.
Mac OS X Server uses Mailman version 2.1.2 for its mailing list service. You can find
more information about Mailman at the website www.list.org.
Setting Up a List
This section describes the process of setting up a mailing list. To do this, you enable the
service, define a list name, and add subscribers to the list.

To enable the mailing lists:
1 In Server Admin, select Mail in the Computer & Services list.
2 Click Settings.
3 Select the Mailing Lists tab.
