Creating a Mailing List, Subscribable Mailing List & Majordomo List

4. A page with entry boxes for email addresses will now be displayed. When you are finished adding addresses to your list be sure to click on the "Add to List" button to add your entries to your new list. If you run out of spaces, save your changes and then edit the list (see below) and more boxes will be added to the form.

To edit a mailing list:
