List category:
List Keywords
List Type (help)
Estimated number of subscribers:

--> the section List Type offers you 3 different types
Open: Anyone can subscribe at any time
Closed: No one is allowed to subscribe. The administrator has to add users manually, either through email, or through the web interface.
Confirm: Anyone can subscribe, but they're first sent a confirmation email that they must reply to. If they don't reply, they aren't subscribed. This helps prevent getting subscribers that didn't want to be subscribed.

--> Choose the type that fits your needs

--> Hit the "create list" button when you are finished.

--> Now wait for an email and hopefully you will get an confirmation email from freelists.org

--> The mailing list is now up and working

--> Other users can join the list via http://www.freelists.org/lists.html or you can add them manually in your list configuration panel via http://www.freelists.org/login.html
