'''Mailman''' is the name of the software that runs WSO's [[listserver]]s, which currently number over 800.

==Subscribing/unsubscribing==

You can subsribe to or unsubscribe from Mailman listservers over the web. A list of all public lists can be found here:

http://wso.williams.edu/mailman/listinfo

Private lists are accessible at that address with "/''LISTNAME''" appended. Just navigate to the list you want to join or leave, and there will be instructions.

In addition, some options are available through an email interface. To join a list, send an email to

''listname''-join@wso.williams.edu

To leave a list, just email

''listname''-leave@wso.williams.edu

==Managing a listserver==

Mailman has a fancy web interface so that list owners can modify all aspects of a list: the list's members, whether replies default to a particular person or the entire list, and about 80 other options. Just visit wso.williams.edu/mailman/admin/LISTNAME (where LISTNAME is the name of your list) to see the control panel.

==Creating a listserver==

Listservers are granted to [[:Category:Groups|student groups]], [[entry|entries]], and things that seem like productive uses. To apply for a WSO listserver, visit:

http://wso.williams.edu/lists/create

Mailman is free software; see the [http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/index.html the Mailman project home page] for more information.
