This page explains how to change the global delivery settings in Mailman

Global delivery settings apply to every list unless you set up or address- or list-specific settings.

Step 1
Click on your profile picture and select Mailman settings in the drop-down menu.

Screenshot of the Mailman home page. The profile picture is read aloud as your username. "Mailman Settings" is located between "Account" and "Posting Activity."

Step 2
Click Global Mailman Preferences.

Step 3
You can change the following settings:

  • Delivery status: Change this setting if you would like to stay subscribed to your lists, but not receive any messages (e.g. when you are on vacation).
  • Delivery mode: You can choose whether to receive the messages bundled together or one by one.
  • Receive own postings: If you send a message to a list, you can select whether you will receive a copy of it.
  • Acknowledge posts: Select whether you would like to receive a confirmation email when you send a message to a list.
  • Hide address: Select whether other subscriber can see your email address.
  • Receive list copies: Choose whether you get a copy of the message when someone entered your email address in addition to a list address.
  • Preferred language

Step 4
Click Save changes.
