There are two ownership roles associated with each mailing
list. The <em>list administrators</em> are the people who have
ultimate control over all parameters of this mailing list. They
are able to change any list configuration variable available
through these administration web pages.
<p>The <em>list moderators</em> have more limited permissions;
they are not able to change any list configuration variable, but
they are allowed to tend to pending administration requests,
including approving or rejecting held subscription requests, and
disposing of held postings. Of course, the <em>list
administrators</em> can also tend to pending requests.
<p>In order to split the list ownership duties into
administrators and moderators, you must
<a href="passwords">set a separate moderator password</a>,
and also provide the <a href="?VARHELP=general/moderator">email
addresses of the list moderators</a>. Note that the field you
are changing here specifies the list administrators.
