Joining a Lyris Mailing List: When people want to join a Lyris mailing list, they either send a "subscribe" email message to Lyris, or they fill out the "join" form on the Web, using the Lyris Web Interface. People can contribute to the discussion by sending email to the discussion group email address, which Lyris maintains, or by filling out the "create a new message" form on the web using the Lyris Web Interface. When a new message is contributed, each member of the discussion receives the message in the manner that they specified. Some people receive every message immediately, in their email. Others receive a nightly "digest" of all the messages. Still others elect not to receive any email, and prefer to read the messages on the Web using the Lyris Web Interface. You can also choose to require an administrator to approve (moderate) messages before they are sent to the group, so that you can determine if they are appropriate.
