I'll be begin by saying I greatly appreciate those who will take the time to provide me with some guidance and assistance.
BACKGROUND Our school has access to a Mailman (version 2.1.9.cp2) List Server. We just want to create a "Master" email list to send announcements out to parents and students. Mailman is provided as a service by our email host so we can ONLY ACCESS Mailman via a web interface. If we create a list with 1000 different parent email addresses can we group them into different lists? The key thing here is if we update one address that change would be reflected in all lists. If so how? EXAMPLE >From those 1000 address I tag/mark all the 8th grade parents addresses and call that list Grade08. Then I tag/mark some more addresses as 12th grade parents and call that list Grade12, and so on. We could make a third list called Soccer Team and tag some addresses from both the Grade08 and Grade12 lists. AVAILABLE OPTIONS Having read the FAQs, Archives and prior posts it seems like it has something to do with Umbrella Lists, Aliases or both. Since we can only use the program (Mailman version 2.1.9.cp2) via a web interface we can do this: 1. Create a list that we want 2. Then we can modify that list. The modifications we can do are grouped together as follows: [General Options] Passwords Language options Membership Management...
