Lyris

Overview

The Server Administrator has control over all the mailing lists, all the sites on that machine. Thus, the commands in the "server administrator" section affect all sites and all lists on one Lyris Server. To affect things which are specific to a single site or a single mailing list, you would use the commands in the "site administrator" or "list administrator" sections. As a server administrator, you automatically have security clearance in those sections.

a
The server administrator main menu lists all the things you can do. For example, you can create a Site.
a You can create a new site on your server. If only one organization will be using your Lyris Server, you will create only one site. The Lyris Site information defines various pieces of information about your Organization, such as its graphic logo, its home page, the language you speak, and other things.
a The server config menu affects how your server operates. You also specify some global security options here.
a The documents choice lets you create text documents for use inside Lyris. For instance, you can define the contact information for your technical support department, and reference it every time it's appropriate (for each mailing list, for instance). You can also have multiple language version of the same document--Lyris will display the right one.
a Action phrases tell Lyris to look for certain words and respond by mailing the document you specify. For instance, you may want to prohibit swearing. Also, you can set up a "document robot" which responds to certain phrases (such as "sales info" or "price list") by sending back the appropriate document.
a You can create auto-responders with Lyris. An autoresponder is an email address which always responds by sending a document. For instance, set up a "prices@yourcompany.com" autoresponder which sends out price list to anyone who emails to it.
a You can create people on your server who hold a special role. This allows other people to be administrators, and also holds their contact information.
a You can view the log, which displays various operating information.
