Service/lists

Revision as of 17:43, 4 February 2026 by Chimosky (talk | contribs) (Add mailmanclient doc.)

Adding a new a mailing list

  • Login to mailman user.
  • Create the list:
python3 create-list.py --list LISTNAME

Mailman3 has separate parts and the core communicates with a REST API, the script is aimed to make it easier to create a list, and can be viewed to see how to authenticate to the API.

  • Send additional instructions to list administrator
I created the new list LISTNAME@lists.sugarlabs.org.

You are the list admin, and should have received a welcome message
with your admin password. You can share this role with others, if
you wish, or nominate one or more moderators.

Feel free to make any configuration changes you need. In particular,
you may want to add a meaningful summary and description of what this
list is about. Please, notify systems@ if you change security or privacy
related settings.

After making changes to any config, restart all three services as django has quite the persistent cache.

You can make any changes you need to make to any list using the mailmanclient, see mailmanclient for more info.
