On my LISTSERV list, how do I add an owner?

As the owner of a LISTSERV list, you can add additional owners to your list. List owners should be able to undertake the responsibility of managing all aspects of the list if necessary.

Note: To complete the steps in this document, you will need to edit the list header; see On my LISTSERV list, how can I modify the list header?

Options for adding list owners are described below.

Secondary list owners fall into two categories, non-quiet and quiet:

• Non-quiet list owners receive mail sent to the listname-request address, and will receive error messages if Errors-To= Owners.
  
  
• Quiet list owners will never receive delivery errors or other administrative mail from LISTSERV.

Following is a sample list header excerpt for a list with all three types of list owners defined:

Note: All list owners defined after the Owner= Quiet: line will be quiet list owners. If Quiet: is on the same line as list owner usernames, you must place a comma after Quiet: .

You can define multiple owners on a single line by separating them with a comma.
