On the module's main page, click on the icon for the list.

Click on the Messages and Description icon to bring up a page for editing the description, welcome, and information message.

To change the description shown in response to the lists command sent to the Majordomo address by users, edit the List description field.

The Informative message field contains text that will be sent back in response to the info listname command, and possibly also to new subscribers. Change it to whatever you want.

The welcome message is usually the same as the informative message. To change this, select As entered below for the Introductory message field and fill in the text box with a message to be sent to new subscribers.

Click Save to return to the list icons page, and then hit the Headers and Footers icon.

To have a header added to the top of all list messages, fill in the Resent email header field. Most lists don't use a header—a footer is less annoying to readers.

To edit the footer appended to the bottom of list messages, change the Resent email footer field.

If you want every list message to have additional mail headers added to it, fill in the Extra SMTP headers for resent mail field. These must be in the standard email header format, such as:


New headers cannot override those in forwarded messages—they can only add to them. If you want to change the subject or reply-to address, see Section 34.8 “Editing Forwarded Email Options”.

Click the Save button at the bottom of the form. All the new list information, header, and footer settings will be immediately active.
