When setting up mailman lists, here's some settings to use:
- General
- description and info: something explaining the purpose of the list
- consider "Should administrator get notices of subscribes and unsubscribes?" (admin_notify_mchanges)
- change max message size to something larger: 400 recommended
- Password
- consider using Passwords
- Non-digest options
- Consider setting a footer: for example, tape groups probably want a link to the signup spreadsheet in the footer
- Digest options
- Conceivably we could disable digests? Digests seem dumb to me, but hopefully nobody turns them on accidentally
- You could set the footer here too?
- Privacy options
- Subscription rules
- Consider requiring approval to sign up
- Consider making list membership admin only?
- Sender filters
- Consider defaulting new members to moderated
- Change "Action to take when anyone posts to the list from a domain with a DMARC Reject/Quarantine Policy" to "Munge From" (this prevents messages from certain senders from always getting placed in spam folders)
- Subscription rules
- Archiving options
- public archives might make sense?
- yearly or quarterly archives may be better than monthly
