This screen is used to edit basic information about your list.
The List Short Name is almost like a small version of the List Name, and it's used internally in Dada Mail; for naming all the list files Dada Mail generates. If my List Name is, My Companies Sales, I may make the List Short Name something like, sales. Keep the list short name short and stick to only alpha-numeric characters. Also, take time in making a good list short name, since you cannot change the list short name after a list is created.
The List Name is used to identify your list from another list, it's what's used on the Dada Mail default page. A good list name should give you an idea on what the list is all about. Don't make the List Name too too long, yet don't make this List Name something like, my list. A better list name could be, My Company's News Announcements
The List Owner is the email address that is associated with almost every single email message sent relating to your list. You may want to create an email account just for your list. Make sure to check this account regularly, since subscribers may use it to communicate with the list owner.
Your list's description tells in more detail what you list is all about. You may want to include how many times a mailing list will be sent out and a general idea on its contents. This description will appear on the Dada Mail default screen.
Since you're collecting personal information, you'll need to set a Privacy Policy for your list. Make sure to include exactly what you're going to do with the information you're collecting. We strongly suggest that you use the email addresses you collect solely for the use of the mailing list, and not give, share or resell the addresses for any reason, Period.
Adding a physical address to your mailing list helps you conform to the US CAN-SPAM law, by tying your mailing list to a known address. It seems like an odd thing to have to include with an email-based mailing list, but we're concerning about Dada Mail conforming to regulations.
