MajorCool - Majordomo E-mail List Management System

NB - Access Restricted to abdn.ac.uk

This facility is for the use of majordomo list owners only.
It provides a Web interface to mailing list management.

ENTER MAJORCOOL

MajorCool provides an easy-to-use web-based interface to managing majordomo mailing lists. All you need to know is your list name and list password.

Maintenance of list membership

Using MajorCool, you can view the list of addresses on your list and add or delete addresses simply by editing the list. MajorCool will construct the relevant subscribe and/or unsubscribe commands to implement your changes, then send them off to Majordomo. You and the people you have (un)subscribed will receive the usual e-mail acknowledgement from Majordomo.

[Note: Owners of automatically-generated class mailing lists can use MajorCool to view and check who is on the list but should not try to add or delete any addresses. Class mailing lists are refreshed automatically every night from the Student Records system, so any membership changes you made will be lost by the following morning.]

List configuration

Anyone who has tried to modify the configuration options of a Majordomo list through the e-mail interface will know what a fiddly and error-prone operation this is. With MajorCool, however, it's a doddle. Choose the "configuration" option and you will be presented with a table of configuration options, descriptions of what each is for, and easy to use radio buttons or text boxes to make changes. Or choose the "info" option to create or edit an information file which will be sent automatically to the people you subscribe to your list.

Documentation

There is no user documentation (it's supposed to be self-evident) but you may wish to refer to the Majordomo List Owner's online guide
