To access the Mailing List configuration screen, you can either click the settings button in siteadmin, or by going to the following URL http://lists.yourdomain.ext/mailman/admin/listname (replacing yourdomain.ext for your domain name, and listname for the name of your mailing list.
You will then be able to log in with the password you set when you created the mailing list.
General Options
On login in you will be presented with the the General Options screen.
The 'public name of this list' can not be used to change the name of the list. It is only for adding/removing capitalisation from the name.
You can add/remove/edit List administrator's email addresses, a brief phrase to identify the mailing list, and a description of the mailing list.
You can change the 'prefix for subject line', which defaults to the name of the list in square brackets ([]).
The 'list specific prepend for new users' can be used to give information to new users when they receive their welcome mail. The 'text to send people leaving the list' can be used to add a message to those wishing to unsubscribe from your list.
The remainder of the settings should be left, unless you know what they are for.
