[Mailman-Users] HELP!

[Emy Murakawa]

I had originally sent an e-mail to Christopher Kolar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> as he had written the user help info, but aside from indicating that he had done it (so it must be possible) and that it would require some change in setting, he hasn't responded any further.  Of course, since he's no longer with mailman, I think he did very well to respond to me at all.  I then tried contacting [EMAIL PROTECTED], and they suggested I go back to the mailman site and start again.

Can you help me out with something? CHIS has a listserv. I am familiar with entering new names, correcting them, and un-subscribing them, but here's the problem. I would like to make a couple of sections of the listserv a global sub-list. In other words, using a familiar group, I'd like to have faculty under one mail address that broadcasts to all. I.e., I'd like to be able to pick "Faculty" and be able to limit the group for edits, corrections, updates, etc. (in other words, a group cut-n-paste).

I don't know what this is technically called, but I've heard it referred to as a global group list and an umbrella subset (the entire listserv is the umbrella, and within the umbrella are several sub-sets). I'd appreciate any insight you might be able to give me!

Response from our IT:

Sorry Emy, but I haven't heard of anything like that being applicable to the Listserv software that we are using. We are currently using "Mailman" by www.python.org
