Creating a Mailing List

Note

Email Hosting Orders activated on or after 2 July, 2009, will have a separate Email management and Webmail interface. 1

Follow the process outlined below to create a Mailing List:

  1. Login to the Email management interface. 2

  2. Go to Mailing Lists -> Add.

  3. Enter the Mailing List Email Address [List Name], which would be the primary Email Address for your Mailing List. When a message is sent to this address, all members of this Mailing List will receive a copy of that message.

    Note
    • The Email Address specified in the Mailing List Email Address [List Name] field should not be one of the existing Email Addresses on your domain name. Specifying an existing Email Address will throw an error:

      Attention

      This prefix already exists for this order.

    • The Email Address specified in the Mailing List Email Address [List Name] field cannot have a dot (.) in the username, whereas a hyphen (-) is allowed.

      Example:

      An Email Address as mailing-list@yourdomainname.com is valid, whereas mailing.list@yourdomainname.com is invalid.

    • Upon creation of this Mailing List, an Email Address will be automatically created with the value submitted in the Mailing List Email Address [List Name] field.

  4. Enter the Email Address that you want to employ as the Primary Moderator [List Owner]. This address is treated as the owner of the Mailing List.

  5. 3 Specify the Message Moderation Preferences and Subscription Preferences. 4

  6. You can also choose to specify some additional preferences, such as automatically blocking mails greater in size than a limit you set, add a specific message at the end of all posts, etc. To do so, click on Advanced Options, make the necessary settings and click on Save.

  7. Click on Submit.
