List member documentation is available for those who are members of Mailman mailing lists. It covers many options including, but not limited to digest mode, changing your password, and temporarily disabling delivery.
List manager documentation is available for those who own or co-own a mailing list. GNU Mailman also publishes a Quick Reference available (our server is lists.oakland.edu).

The orignal website is at http://staff.imsa.edu/~ckolar/mailman/.
Quick FAQ
I just add and delete e-mail addresses from the list, how do I do that in the new system?
The new system is web managed. You will go to http://lists.oakland.edu/mailman/admin/YOURLISTNAME and log in with your list password. This password is the same password you used for e-mail management with Majordomo. The web interface is fairly intuitive. If you need further help, click the above List manager documentation and/or Quick Reference.
When does this go into effect?
The change took place on September 30th, 2003. The web site for Mailman management is currently available.
Do I have to change over the members of the list or is that done automatically?
List members and list settings will be migrated automatically.
Can I send attachments?
No. Any time an attachment is sent to more than one person, it is probably better suited to being placed on the web. E-mail attachments cause high load to e-mail servers because each message must be scanned for viruses. E-mail lists increase this load, because if there are 100 members in your email list, then the message is sent 100 times and the message must be scanned 100 times. We have no plans to support large mail list messages.
