3. To require approval to subscribe, in the What steps are required for subscription? section click on Confirm and approve. Confirm and approve both sends an email to the subscriber to verify the request came from the subscriber and requires the list owner to approve the request. It is appropriate for lists that are closed and limit membership and is recommended over Require Approval because of the additional protection confirmation offers. Confirm is appropriate for open lists that are open to anyone.

4. To require approval to unsubscribe, in the Is the list moderator's approval required for unsubscription requests? section click on Yes. Yes is appropriate for lists that are closed where the owner needs to control who receives messages sent to the list. No allows members to unsubscribe without the owner's approval and is appropriate for open lists.
    
5. When finished, click on the Submit Your Changes button near the bottom of the page.
    

While we strongly recommend the web interface, some users prefer email commands to subscribe and unsubscribe. The exact behavior of these commands will vary depending on the permissions of the list. If the list has a closed subscription these requests will be bounced to the list owner. Otherwise, the user will simply be added/removed as a list member.

• To have a user join your list via Email
  Have the user send an email to [list-name]- subscribe@uwyo.edu
   
• To have a user join your list via Email
  Have the user send an email to [list-name]-unsubscribe@uwyo.edu
   

Sometimes messages are inadvertently posted to a Mailman mailing list, such as when "Automatic reply" messages are generated as out-of-office message responses to a post to a mailing list. This procedure will prevent "Automatic replies" from being posted to a list and cause them to be deleted immediately.¹

1. Log into the list admin page at https://lists.uwyo.edu/mailman/admin/list-name (where list-name is the name of your list).

2. Click on Privacy Options at the top of the second column, then click on Spam Filters.
   (Image)

¹Note that setting the Action to Discard will delete the message. Usually the messages can be safely deleted. However if the owners want to review messages caught by these rules, set the Action to Hold instead of Discard. Then the usual moderation request will be sent to the owners to approve or deny the "Automatic reply" message that is being held for review.
