Note that this section +is not used to control whether your list's archives are public or +private; for that, use the <A HREF="#Archiving_options"><tex2html_cross_ref_visible_mark></A> category. + +<P> +There are four sub-categories: + +<UL> +<LI>Subscription rules - i.e. the rules for joining and leaving + your mailing list + +<P> +</LI> +<LI>Sender filters - the rules for who may post messages to your + list + +<P> +</LI> +<LI>Recipient filters - moderation rules based on the recipient of + the message + +<P> +</LI> +<LI>Spam filters - some regular expression based rules for header + matching +</LI> +</UL> + +<P> +The sender, recipient, and spam filtering rules are part of the +general list moderation features of Mailman. When a message is posted +to the list, it is matched against a number of criteria, the outcome +of which determines whether the message is reflected to the membership +or not. In general, the outcome is one of four states: + +<P> + +<UL> +<LI>Approved or Accepted - the message may be sent on to the + members of the mailing list. + +<P> +</LI> +<LI>Hold - the message will be held for moderator approval. The + list owners and moderators will then have to explicitly approve + the message before the list members will see it. + +<P> +</LI> +<LI>Reject - the message is bounced back to the original sender, + often with a notice containing the reason the message was + rejected. The list members never see rejected messages. + +<P> +</LI> +<LI>Discard - the message is simply thrown away without further + processing. +</LI> +</UL> + +<P> +Many of the fields in this section are text boxes accepting addresses, +one per line. Unless otherwise noted, these also accept regular +expressions which will be matched against an address, if the line +begins with a (caret) character. + +<P> + +<p><hr> +<!--Table of Child-Links--> +<A NAME="CHILD_LINKS"><STRONG>Subsections</STRONG></a> + +<UL CLASS="ChildLinks"> +<LI><A href="node22.html">3.7.1 Subscription rules</a> +<LI><A href="node23.html">3.7.2 Sender filters</a> +<LI><A href="node24.html">3.7.3 Recipient Filters</a> +<LI><A href="node25.html">3.7.4 Spam Filters</a> +</ul> +<!--End of Table of Child-Links--> + +<DIV CLASS="navigation"> +<p><hr> +<table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> +<tr> +<td><A HREF="node20.html"><img src="../icons/previous.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="Previous Page" width="32"></A></td> +<td><A HREF="node9.html"><img src="../icons/up.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="Up One Level" width="32"></A></td> +<td><A HREF="node22.html"><img src="../icons/next.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="Next Page" width="32"></A></td> +<td align="center" width="100%">GNU Mailman - List Administration Manual</td> +<td><A href="contents.html"><img src="../icons/contents.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="Contents" width="32"></A></td> +<td><img src="../icons/blank.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="" width="32"></td> +<td><img src="../icons/blank.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="" width="32"></td> +</tr></table> +<b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node20.html">3.6 The Digest Options</A> +<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node9.html">3 The List Configuration</A> +<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node22.html">3.7.1 Subscription rules</A> +<hr> +<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on October 2, 2004.</span> +</DIV> +<!--End of Navigation Panel--> + +</BODY> +</HTML> |
