+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 Moderate the Lists ====
-The lists are set up to only allow email messages from you. 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. This link is different from the list administration link you already have. 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.
