Request to Add Your List

1. - First enter your name and Internet email address. If your mailing list has more than one list owner, specify each additional name and address after your information, separated by commas. There must be a one-to-one correspondance between names and addresses, and your information should be first. If your name or email address contains a comma, omit it here and use the comment box below to indicate the proper syntax.

Your Name:

Your Email Address:

2. - Now, type in the name of your mailing list, and the mailing list title (up to 45 characters).

Your Mailing List:

Your Mailing List Title:

3. - Here you must indicate what mailing list software runs your list. The LWGate supports LISTSERV(TM), ListProcessor, Majordomo, and SmartList. If your list is a ListProcessor list and has a private archive, please select ListProcessor and the "private" box.

LISTSERV(TM) ListProcessor ( private) Majordomo SmartList

4. -The next two addresses are for informational purposes only: They indicate to users browsing the LWGate where to mail posts and manually send mailing list commands.

Address to Send Posts:

Address for Users to Send Commands:

5. - Here, you can type in a short description of your mailing list and any additional information you would like people browsing the LWGate to see.

Short Description of Your List (About 50 words)

6. - Now, type in the "primary" address to which mailing list commands should be sent by the LWGate. That is, unless we specify exceptions (defined below), all commands will be sent to this address. If you wish the LWGate to send commands to multiple address (e.g. both to the mailing list server and you, to keep you aware of what's going on), list each address separated by commas.

Primary Address(es) for LWGate Commands:

7. - If you wish to have the LWGate send certain commands to another address, fill in the following information. For example, if you don't want unsubscribe commands to be processed automatically because of the potential for abuse, you can tell the LWGate to send all such requests to you instead of the primary address. To accomplish this, first fill in this secondary address to redirect certain commands to. (You can specify multiple address by separating them by commas.) Then, select the commands which you wish to have redirected to this address.

Secondary Address(es) for LWGate Commands:

Commands to Redirect to Secondary Address(es):
Subscribe to Mailing List
Unsubscribe from Mailing List
Set Subscription Options (LISTSERV(TM) and ListProcessor only)

8. - Furthermore, you can tell the LWGate to restrict certain commands from being used or presented for your list. If you feel a command could too easily be abused or your list does not support it, restrict the command. Note that certain commands are available only to certain mailing list software programs. (e.g. confirm is available only for LISTSERV(TM).) If you are using a different type of software, these commands will not be presented for the user - you need not specify to restrict them here.

Commands to Restrict:

Unsubscribe from Mailing List

9. - These next two fields are only for mailing lists provided by the Jeff Salisbury server. If your mailing list is not run by Jeff Salisbury, do not fill in these fields. In the first field, fill in the absolute path from the root directory to the directory in which your archives reside. In the next field, fill in a Perl regular expression which describes the file names of all your archives (eg "^mailing-list\.log.+$"). Furthermore, all sub-directories from the archive directory on down will be presented if they match this regular expression. Assume that the regular expression will be delimited by the slash (/) character. If you have any questions about properly filling out these fields, please type them in the comment box below.

10. - If your mailing list is run by LISTSERV(TM) and you have set of list TOPICS (using the TOPICS= list header keyword), list the topic names in the below field, separating each by a comma.
