The Mailman List Manager

ITD provides a central mailing list service for faculty, staff and students to further their work at the Law School. The service is driven by a list management system called Mailman. Maintenance and configuration of mailing lists can be performed through a web browser. Subscription and unsubscribe requests can be performed via an email client.

Majordomo to Mailman Migration Project (Fall 2007): Mailman was selected by ITD as the replacement for the current Majordomo list manager and a majority of @majordomo.lls.edu lists are currently being migrated to the new list manager. Future communications and announcements by ITD will identify the status of, and timelines for, individual list migrations.

To assist in making the transition to Mailman, the following documents provide a useful starting point for list subscribers, moderators and administrators.

List Membership Information Request
