To help distinguish the list address from a real E-mail account, it is often helpful to include "-L" in the list name. The inclusion of "-L" however, is not required.

In the Purpose field in the form, type in a very brief description of how the list is to be used. Please do not exceed 70 characters. The description must fit on a single line.
