2 Translating from our examples to real lists</A>
60
Often, it's easier to simply give an example than explain exactly how
61
to find the address for your specific list. As such, we'll frequently
62
give examples for a fictional list called
63
<span class="email">LISTNAME@DOMAIN</span> whose list information page can be found at
64
<a class="url" href="http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME">http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME</a>.
68
real addresses, but they show the form of a typical list address.
69
The capital letters used for the list-specific parts of each address should
70
make it easier to see what should be changed for each
71
list. Although specific list configurations may be different, you will
72
probably be able to just replace the words given in capital letters with the
73
appropriate values for a real list:
77
<DT><STRONG>LISTNAME</STRONG></DT>
78
<DD>The name of your list.
81
<DT><STRONG>DOMAIN</STRONG></DT>
82
<DD>The name of the mail server which handles that list.
85
<DT><STRONG>WEBSERVER</STRONG></DT>
86
<DD>The name of the web server which handles the list web interface. This may be the same as DOMAIN, and often refers to the same machine, but does not have to be identical.
91
As a real-life example, if you are interested in the mailman-users list, you'd
92
make the following substitutions: LISTNAME=mailman-users, DOMAIN=python.org, WEBSERVER=mail.python.org. As such, for the
93
<span class="email">mailman-users@python.org</span>
94
mailing list, the list information page can be found at the URL
95
<a class="url" href="http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users">http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users</a>. (These, unlike
96
most of the examples given in this document, are real addresses.)
99
Most lists will have this information stored in the <span class="mailheader">List-*:</span>
101
mail programs will hide these by default, so you may have to choose to view
102
full headers before you can see these informational headers.
