XMission offers mailing lists via the GNU Mailman software. You can view the publicly available mailing lists on our system by visiting the Mailman listinfo page. List administrators can access the web interface for their lists by logging in. The account you setup to administer a mailing list is different from your XMission account.

Mailman is designed primarily for discussion between subscribers, so users who intend to use the Mailman system for one-way announcement lists will need to make changes to the configuration of their Mailman list before attempting to use it for this purpose.

NOTE: XMission requires that only list subscribers can post to mailman lists. All lists must be restricted in this form.
