Hello, I am attempting to set up a list on my website but it will not allow me to make the name lower case. I have seen some lists that do allow this and am wonding if I am missing something here? I even tried to change the case (first letter) afterwards but it will not allow that either. Any help is appreciated!

J> appreciated!Mailing lists have two "names". One is the internal name such as "mailman-users", which is used as the directory name to hold the list's data, and in the email addresses for posting. This is always lower case.
The other is the list's public name, and this you can change in the General options. It must be the same as the internal name, except for differences in case. E.g. Mailman-Users

Barry you wrote, "This is always lower case". Well, that's the probelm it's not lower case and I can't get it to be. When I set up the list it automatically makes it upper case and when the 'send to' email address is displayed it is upper case.

I think you'll have to use the procedure to move a list as described in the FAQ.
