 ====== Managing Your Email Lists With Mailman  ======
-=== Intro ===
+==== Links ====
+To get to the administration page for your list, type the following URL into your browser, replacing LIST-NAME with your actual listname (without the @socsci.uci.edu):
+  * ''%%https://mail.socsci.uci.edu/mailman/admin/LIST-NAME%%''
+Be sure to bookmark that page for easier access!
+===== Instructions for new moderators =====
+You should have received an email containing your list moderator password. Use this to login at the above URL.
+==== How to add Members ====
+Click the link for **Membership Management** near the top, then the link for **Mass Subscription**.
+You can then paste a list of email addresses (one per line) into the text box. I recommend leaving the options at the top at the default values: "Subscribe" means they will be immediately subscribed, and "No" to the options for sending a welcome message and notification message. Click the **Submit your changes** button at the bottom to save the change.
+==== How to remove Members ====
+=== Option 1 ===
+Click on **Membership Management**, then **Mass Removal**. Enter the email addresses to be removed, one per line. Click **Submit your changes** at the bottom to apply the removal. I recommend leaving the options to send unsubscription acknowledgement and notifications to "No".
+=== Option 2 ===
+Click on **Membership Management**. On the **Membership List** page, you can check the box to the left of any members you want to remove, then click on **Submit your changes** at the bottom to apply.
+==== How to Moderate the Lists ====
+The lists are set up to only allow email messages from pre-approved senders. If anyone else sends to the list, you will receive an email with details about the new message and a link to click where you can log in to approve/discard/reject the message. Moderators can then decide to approve the message, reject the message (it will send a rejection notice to the original sender), or discard the message (no notification sent to the original sender). They can also decide to permanently allow or discard messages from that sender.
+==== How to Add/Change Moderators ====
+If you want someone else to also be a moderator of the list, then go to the list admin website and click on the **General Options** link at the top, then add a new email address in the text box for **The list moderator email addresses.** Click the **Submit your changes** button at the bottom of the page to save your changes.
+Then simply share the moderator password with them so that they can also login.
+=== Moderator Password ===
+If you need the moderator password reset, contact sscs@uci.edu and provide the name of your list.
