Membership Management

A list administrator can display all the email addresses on their list.
  1. Access the list administration website for your mailing list.
  2. Select: Membership Management
  3. Select: Membership List
  4. Scroll down the page until you see the end of the Membership List on that page.
  5. Click on the link for: Click here to show a text member list
The email addresses of the members of your list will be displayed in a text box at the bottom of the page. Subscribing list member names along with email addresses Mailman lists can have member names as well as their email IDs.
  1. Access the list administration website for your mailing list.
  2. Select: Membership Management.
  3. Select: Mass Subscription.
  4. Under Enter one address per line below... Add the names in the following format:
    • "Thomas Jefferson" <tomjefferson@ntelos.net>
    • "Martha Jefferson" <marthajefferson@aol.com>
    • "M. S. Theatre" <mst3k>
    (note that @virginia.edu is automatically appended to IDs with no domain specified)
  5. Click the Submit Your Changes button at the bottom of the page. If you have completed your list administration work, remember to click the Logout link and close your browser.
The name must have a beginning and an ending double quotation mark and the email address must be contained within angle brackets. If you are pasting this information from an external document, you will need to check your list carefully before you paste the list into the Membership Management -> Mass Subscriptions page. A missing double quote or angle bracket can cause not only the ID on that line to fail to be subscribed to your list, but all subsequent IDs in the list to fail to be subscribed, too. Detailed information about Adding List Members and Removing List Members is available on the Basic Administrator Configuration Options page.
