A closed mailing list is a discussion list with restricted access. Once added to the mailing list, subscribers can change their subscription options like a normal mailing list. This would typically be used for internal discussion list or other list where you want to restrict who can subscribe. Posts and subscription requests are sent to the public address .
Commands accepted are subscribe , subscribe digest , unsubscribe , digests , and help .
Once a month, subscribers will automatically receive the help message via e-mail. Subscribe requests from new addresses are forwarded to the moderator. The moderator can add them manually using a web form subscription page or by email. Scripts are available on our Extending ListSTAR page in order to help set up the web form subscription page or to subscribe someone to a list via email. Any message received by the public address which is not recognized as a command is interpreted as a post.
