E-MAIL LIST MANAGEMENT WITH MAILMAN An introduction to managing e-mail lists with Mailman. This class offers tips on the management of this useful online tool. It is mainly, but not exclusively, for groups that manage lists via the DCN mail server. If your organization increasingly relies on the Internet and email to communicate among project committees, membership or other constituents, you may already be using or need to learn to use e-mail lists. Mailman is a popular and effective list management system that DCN freely offers to community groups and provides instruction on. |
