This document describes the list administrator's interface for GNU Mailman 2.1. It contains information a list owner would need to configure their list, either through the web interface or through email. It also covers the moderator's interface for approving held messages and subscription notices, and the web interface for creating new mailing lists. In general, it does not cover the command line interface to Mailman, installing Mailman, or interacting with Mailman from the point of view of the user. That information is covered in other manuals.
I (Terri) am currently in the process of importing the 2.1 documentation from latex. It's fairly likely that there will be syntax issues and missing pieces. Please bear with me, and feel free to fix markup if you see a flaw.

Introduction
Mailman's interfaces
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]
