How do I create mailing lists in cPanel?

Article Index

Our cPanel Control Panel includes a popular mailing list script called Mailman. Mailman allows you to set up a mailing list with a large number of configurable options, such as who is on the list, where mailing lists messages are sent, and whether you include welcoming messages to new subscribers.

The Mailman Documentation, which is incorporated into its Administration panel (cPanel control panel >  Documentation > Mail > Mailing Lists) is clear and helpful, and should be referred to for all questions about using the script. The instructions in this section deal with how to set up, modify, and delete a Mailman mailing list from your online control panel. You can can also refer to the Mailman home page for more information.

Note: It is a good idea to be aware of spam and its definition before setting up a mailing list - refer to E-mail Filtering for more information.

To create a mailing list:

  1. Click the mail icon on the top left corner in your online control panel.

  2. Click on the Mailing Lists link in the Mail area.

  3. Click on the Add Mailing List link.

  4. Enter the name of the mailing list in the List Name field, the password for the list in the Password field, and the domain it is for from the Domain drop-down list.

  5. Click on the Create button. The list is created in the /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/lists folder.

There are many different configurable options available with the Mailman script. This procedure shows you how to open up the Administration panel so that you can modify the script options. Use the Mailman documentation that is included in the Administration panel to answer any specific questions you might have.

To modify (Edit) a mailing list:

Click on the Mailing Lists link in the Mail Control area.

Click on the Icon.

Log in to the mailing list with your password. You are now in the Mailman Administration panel and can adjust options as you require.

Deleting a mailing list:

Click on the Mailing Lists link in the Mail Control area.

Click on the X next to the mailing list that you want to delete. Click on the Mailing lists link to return to the Mailing Lists window to confirm that it has been deleted.

Delete a Mailman mailing list when you no longer want the list to be active.

Warning: Deleting the mailing list will delete all archives, current mail, and members email addresses. If you want to keep any of this information, be sure to download or otherwise copy these files before deleting the mailing list. Once the mailing list is deleted the information is unrecoverable.
