| Pick a name for
this e-mail discussion list. This name will appear
in front of the @ symbol in the e-mail address for
the list.
Example: AESupers@cls.coe.utk.edu
We strongly suggest you:
- keep this name as *short* as possible.
- make it easy to remember
- make it meaningful to the folks who will be
using the list.
- Get the name "approved" by your funder
before submitting this form - it cannot easily
be changed after the list is created.
Note: capitalization won't matter, but can
assist in making the list name memorable.

subject line of each message sent to the list. This

of the list, but no more than eight characters. |

content, and is expected from the list. It should

What steps are
required for subscription?
"Confirm" will send the person an e-mail
requesting that they confirm that they REALLY want
to be a member of the list. This prevents pranksters
from signing up people who don't REALLY want e-mail
traffic. This setting is generally not recommended.
"Require-approval" holds the subscription
until he list administrator approves the subscription
to the list. This setting is recommended.
Confirm + approval does both. |

Who can view e-mail
addresses?
"Anyone" means that the e-mail address
of everyone on the list will be exposed to the internet
This is not recommended, because there are many,
many programs that prowl the internet looking for
e-mail addresses to add to spam lists.
"List members" means that people who
are already members of the list will be able to
see the e-mail addresses of the members of the list.
This is also not recommended. If one person's password
is compromised, everyone on the list can be exposed
to address harvesting programs. This setting is
not recommended.
"List admin only" means that only the
moderator will be able to see the e-mail addresses
of people on the list. It is recommended that this
be set to "list admin only." |
