The web interface
The most commonly used interface of Mailman is the web interface. Assuming a fairly standard configuration, this will have a URL like this:
http://WEBSERVER/mailman/admin/LISTNAME
Almost all the options can be set from this interface, and it also provides inline help and descriptions of each option.
The web domain (WEBSERVER) can't be set from the web, since it's a bit too easy to render your web interface unusable by making a typo. As such, this setting is usually changed from the command line. The fix_url script is provided for this purpose. It is used in conjuction with withlist as follows:
MAILMAN/bin/withlist -l -r fix_url listname [options]
