New Listserv Request

Each University needs to have the appropriate University affiliation. The University abbreviation will become part of the name of the listserv - for example NDSU-nameoflist@listserv.nodak.edu.

Extension agencies please select NDSUEXT
Affiliates of the North Dakota University System please select NDUS
Other agencies not listed below please select OTHER

Please enter a name for the list. The list name will follow the University abbreviation - for example: NDUS-nameoflist@listserv.nodak.edu. Due to duplication, the list name cannot be guaranteed. A notification containing the exact name of your list will be emailed to you once the list is created. Please avoid using any special characters in the list name - use only letters, numbers, or dashes.

NOTE: There can be no spaces in the list name - use only a dash (-) to separate names. 32 characters are allowed.

Please enter a brief title describing the nature of the list.

The Reply To option is how the list will work when someone replies back to a message that was sent out to the list.
List - Back to the list (Discussion Mode)
Sender - Back to the SENDER of the message

Open subscription allows anyone to subscribe to the list
BY-OWNER allows the list owner to accept subscriptions

The List Archive function will allow you and your subscribers to view all messages via the list either by command or the web interface.

Public: Anyone who knows the list address can send to it freely. (Low security)

Private: Only people who are subscribed to the list will be able to send to the list. (Moderate security)

Moderated Editor, Hold: When a message is sent by someone other than the owners of the list. The owner is sent a message to OK the message before the message is sent out to the list. This option requires the owner to reply to the message with the word OK in the body of the message. (High security)

Moderated Editor, Confirm: Mail sent by any editor or moderator requires confirmation by that editor or moderator. This option prevents a user from forging mail to the list under an editor's or moderator's return address. The confirmation request is validated with the 'OK' mechanism. NOTE: A double validation is NOT required when an editor approves other peoples' postings. The editor's own posting to the list, and any reposts he does on others' behalf, does not require a confirmation that the editor actually submitted the message. In other words if the editor simply 'OK’s' a posting, he does not have to 'OK' his own 'OK'. (High security)

Moderated Editor, Hold, and Confirm: This allows you to 'OK' both subscriber submissions and editor/moderator approvals, as described above.

The list owner is responsible for managing the list and receives any error messages pertaining to the list. A primary owner is required, and a list may have only one primary owner. A secondary list owner is optional. A secondary owner will have the same access as the primary owner, but will not receive error messages. Please include the full name, along with a complete email address.

NOTE: List requests must include an owner (primary or secondary) from one of the NDUS Institutions.
