List Server

List server management is accomplished using the Delegated Administrator. User level list management (i.e. subscribing or unsubscribing) is handled under the "My Mail Lists" link in Delegated Administrator, and List owner level (i.e. making a list closed, open, moderated, etc) is handled by using the "Manage Mail Lists" link. To log in to Delegated Administrator open your favorite web browser and go to:

https://mail.csusb.edu:1443/nda/default/en/login.htm

NOTICE: Netscape 6 and later has a feature that may prevent you from visiting the Delegated Administrator web site. If your web browser complains that access to port has been disabled for security reasons, try using Internet Explorer. For more information read the Release Notes for your Netscape browser version.

The list server will expand addresses it finds. So to only allow list members to send to the list add the list email address as an external member. For example, to only allow members of listname to send to the list:

  1. Click on the "Add..." button next to "External Member List".
  2. This will open up another window. Type in listname@csusb.edu in the "Mail Address" text box.
  3. Click the "OK" button.
  4. This will close the new window and go back to the previous window. The email address should appear in the "External Member List" box. Scroll down to the bottom and click the "OK" button.
  5. It will tell you that it is about to modify the list. Click the "OK" button.
