This page provides information about how the settings of the lists will be adjusted for the Mailman software, after the transition, to be the same as those that were set when using the ListProcessor software. The terminology given in parentheses in the clauses indicate the previous settings of the list for the ListProcessor. The changes are to be done at the interface http://mailman.metu.edu.tr/mailman/admin/.
