'''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.
