Field Name Description

List Name

This is the name of the mailing list. This name is the official Mailing List Name.It is what both administrators and users see in correspondence to the list. It also defines the email address for list mail. For example, if the name is jazz-discuss and the site's host name is minerva.example.com, the mailing list's email address is going to be jazz-discuss@minerva.example.com

Rename List

Clicking this button makes the list name editable. Enter the new list name and description, and click Save. Renaming a list may take a long time, depending on the number of members, documents, segments, archives etc. that need to be renamed in order to remain associated with this list. Renaming a list may slow mailings currently being processed.

Note

This is only available for site and server administrators only.

List Description

When email goes out from the list, this description can be in the email message. For example, if the Description is Jazz Discussion, the Reply-To: field for the mailing list email address is going to be:Reply-To: Jazz Discussion <jazz-discuss@minerva.example.com>
