Managing a Majordomo List

Becoming a list owner is not something you should do lightly. A lot of work can be involved, especially if the list is large. It is definitely not something to do unless you are reasonably experienced with e-mail, lists, and usenet news, and are prepared to spend some time learning to interpret error messages that you will get because of problems with email addresses on your list.

Likewise, you should feel confident that you can help less experienced list members with problems involving the use of various email programs as well as the nuts and bolts of sending to the list. Before plunging in, read up on such things in several of the many books on the Internet available from the Computing Center Documents Room. We also recommend that you view the Majordomo FAQ.
