Before a new mailing list can be used, it must be "tuned". Tuning means optimising the configuration of the mailing list for your particular needs.
When you have finished entering details on the Mailing list Details page and clicked Save at the bottom of the page, the system takes you to the Tune Mailing List page, shown below...
Ensure that the details on this page match your intentions for the mailing list. The options are described below...
Mailing List Type
The Mailing List Type that you select determines certain behaviours of the list, as follows...
| Behaviour | A group of members | A team of committee | Supporters/friends |
| Recipient clicks "Reply" | Reply is addressed to original sender | Reply is addressed to entire mailing list | Reply is addressed to original sender |
| Subscribers can send emails to the whole list | Yes | Yes | No If they try, their email is held for moderation |
| Subscriber gets "you have been unsubscribed" message when they leave the mailing list |
No | No | Yes |
| List administrator is notified if someone subscribes or unsubscribes themselves |
Yes | Yes | No |
| Subscribers are automatically removed from the list if sending to them results in repeated bounce messages |
No | No | Yes |
Mailing List Name
The Mailing List Name is the name that emails from the mailing list appear to be from - either directly (from = "My-Group-name Members Mailing List") or indirectly (from = "Fred Smith via My-Group-Name Mailing List"). You can, of course, enter any name you want here.
Administrator/Moderator email addresses
Specify the email address(es) of the administrators/moderators of this mailing list. Ensure that any email addresses you enter actually exist!
Where there is more than one administrator email address, specify each email address on a separate line.
Click the Submit button at the foot of the Tune Mailing List page when you have finished entering these fields.
