Default message sent to list owners when a new list is created (words in blue are replaced depending on how each list is set up):

Listname, the Kansas State University LISTSERV mailing list for
YourGroup has been created.

PrimaryOwnerName

is the primary owner and will be the person primarily responsible for
the list.

MaintenanceOwnerNames

are maintenance owners and will get any error messages the list
generates (like bounced e-mail errors).

QuietOwnerNames are quiet owners and won't get any error messages from the list.

Since this list has Subscriptions= Closed, only the owner(s) can add
subscribers to the list.  Any owner can add and delete list members
or change any of the list options."

I will add you as Members of ListName right now and you can start
using the list whenever you are ready.  By default we have enabled two
features of LISTSERV to help control some problems that have surfaced.
Your list is set up to filter out attachments (this gets rid of some
virus trouble) and HTML code (for people without HTML enabled mailers).
You can remove those lines from the header if you want to allow
attachments or HTML code.

Please note that only the addresses listed here are able to administer 
this list (add and delete members, change the list options, etc.).  If 
you routinely use another account, you may want to add yourself as an 
owner from that account and set either this one or the new one to be a 
quiet owner.  

Commands to administer the list may be entered via the web interface (at
http://listserv.ksu.edu/web ) or by e-mail (to listserv@listserv.ksu.edu).

Messages you want to send to your list members should be sent to
ListName@listserv.ksu.edu.
