The Manage List Types tool allows you to view a tabular list of existing mailing list types and access tools to manage these types. Mailing list types function as preconfigured templates on which mailing lists are based. They govern how a list will behave, including who will be allowed to subscribe to the list and view its archives (if archives exist), who will be allowed to post to a list, and whether postings will be moderated or not. Besides these access control options, list types configure features including whether the list will be available as a digest, whether attachments will be permitted, etc.

Kavi® Mailing List Manager installs a set of default list types, which your organization can use "as is" or customize, or you may add custom types as needed.

The Kavi Mailing List Manager uses ezmlm-supported mailing lists and exposes the ezmlm-make argument string for use by individuals who have acquired expertise with ezmlm. For a list of arguments and simple descriptions, see Ezmlm Quick Reference Guide. This information is presented for quick reference only and does not describe the arguments in depth, nor does it fully describe the configuration or behavior of lists based on any particular list type as other layers in the application may override or supplement behavior configured through the ezmlm-make argument string. Direct manipulation of this string is for experts only and is outside the scope of this documentation. The full array of ezmlm configuration options is documented on the ezmlm site: www.ezmlm.org.
