Staff members wishing to setup a mailing list are to contact "anthony" and
with the following information: 

   * Name of the mailing list (usually quite short)
   * An initial password for the list maintainer
   * A single line describing purpose of the list. (for the `lists' request)
   * The initial ``info'' to mail to new subscribers to the mail list
   * anything else about the list

All of the above, except the name of the mailing list, can be modified by
the list maintainer at any time after the mailing list is setup.

Once the list is created, the maitainer mails commands to majordomo with
the password you supply. These new commands for maintainers I have just
placed on the web  in  ``Information Guides'' of the kurango web server.

Basically you would download the configuration file with the command

config <list> <password>

You would then edit the config, turning on and off moderation, weather
users can subscribe or unsubscribe themselves (is the list open or
closed?), if articles posted must be approved by you, or if you are adding
or removing another user on the list.  The configuration is heavily
commented, but if you have problems contact me and I'll gladly go through
it with you.

You would then mail the newconfiguration file back to majordomo with.

newconfig <list> <password>
...config_file...

In a moderated list majordomo mails the article to the `moderator' and
they place an approved line with the `moderators' password in the header,
and mail back to majordomo. The moderator (and his/her password) can be a
different person than the maintainer (a research assistant? ;-).  It also
allows the maintainer to have a group or people who are the only people
allowed to post while a larger number of people on the list can read it.
