[lists.sr.ht](https://lists.sr.ht) is the sr.ht mailing list service.
# Email controls
You may subscribe to any list by emailing
`user/list-name+subscribe@lists.sr.ht`. You may unsubscribe with `+unsubscribe`.
You may post new threads to this list by writing to the address with no `+`
command.
# Dashboard
Your [dashboard](https://lists.sr.ht) shows you recent emails on mailing lists
you're subscribed to. You can reply to one by clicking the author's name, or
view the thread by clicking the subject.
# Profile
Your public profile page shows a feed of emails authored by you, as well as a
list of mailing lists you administrate. Like the dashboard, emails can be
replied to by clicking the authors name and you can view the thread by clicking
the subject.
# Archive
Each list shows a list of archives, sorted by which has seen the most recent
activity. In each thread's heading, you can see the number of participants,
number of replies, and subject of the initial message. Click the subject to see
the full thread.
# Threads
Email threads can become trees as participants reply to different messages. In
the simple case of a linear thread, you will see replies written linearly.
However, if a thread becomes split, you may see several linear trees of
discussion form.
To reply to a message, click the author's name.
# List Administration
List access controls are available on your list settings, which can be accessed
with the "List settings" button on the list archive. The controls are
fine-grained enough to support many access scenarios, here are some examples:
## Announcement lists
A list that only you can write to is useful for announcements. Remove all user's
"post" and "reply" permissions to prevent them from submitting - owners are
always able to post. You can optionally leave the "reply" permission enabled to
allow people to respond to announcements, but be aware that their responses will
be sent out to all subscribers, which is usually undesirable for low-volume
announcement lists.
## Write-only security lists
If you want a mailing list where people can write to you about security
vulnerabilities in your software, you can remove the "browse" permission without
removing the "post" or "reply" permissions from the list. This will allow people
to send emails to the list, but not view the archives or subscribe.
