===Mailing Lists===
If you need to manage your mailing list, please read over these [https://support.mayfirst.org/wiki/faq#MailmanEmailListRelated FAQs]. If you cannot find and answer to your question, email obit@lists.mayfirst.org and ask for assistance.

We use software called Mailman for mailing lists. You can change how your address appears on the list by logging into the mailing list at
https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/LIST_NAME and changing your settings.

If you do not know your password, you can put your email address in at the bottom and click submit and receive a password reminder, then you can log in. To keep your membership hidden, visit the page at https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/options/LIST_NAME - you will see an option that says "Conceal yourself from subscriber list?" check the "Yes" box, and save your options.

This can also be set globally by the list administrator, so you might want to ask on the list itself to have this option turned off.

If you need to set up a new email address email obit@lists.mayfirst.org and someone will set up a list for you.

====Moderation and Notices====
* The trick for reducing the number of notices is to set the filter here: [https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/admin/EMAIL_LIST_NAME/privacy/sender]
* "Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit action is defined" -> Accept
** The filter here: [https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/admin/EMAIL_LIST_NAME/privacy/subscribing]
* "What steps are required for subscription?" -> Confirm
** The filter here: [https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/admin/EMAIL_LIST_NAME/general]
* "Should administrator get notices of subscribes and unsubscribes?" -> No
With these settings, you shouldn't get any requests for anything. This means the lists will be wide open, but it should also permit a more free flow of information without a bunch of notices.
