Title: How can I add, delete or change Mailman list owners?
Question: I'm the owner of a Mailman list and I want to change the
ownership. How can I do that?
Answer:
As a Mailman list owner, you can add or delete owners at any time as long
as there is at least one owner who is a current faculty, staff, or student
at the UW and all of the owners to be added have a UW NetID. Faculty and
staff can request a sponsored UW NetID for non-UW affiliated list owners
by sending email to help@u.washington.edu
To change ownership of your list, go to your list's administration pages at
http://mailman.u.washington.edu/mailman/admin/listname
where "listname" is replaced with the actual name of your list. Log in
with your UW NetID.
Under "General Options" you will find an owner setting where you can
specify the email address(es) of the current list owner(s). Simply add or
delete email addresses to add or remove list owners. Please note that all
Mailman list owners must have a UW NetID. When you are finished, click on
the "Submit Your Changes" button. It is a good idea to then double-check
the spelling of the owner addresses.
