Owners and Moderators Home

Each Mailman list has at least one owner but some also have a moderator. The list owner is responsible for configuration, maintenance, and operation of the list. List owners can execute commands for their subscribers, including adding and deleting subscribers.

This owner's section has been designed to answer the common questions of a new list owner and to provide access to online forms for requesting a new Mailman list. For additional details, please make a selection from the Owners' side navigation.
