This section -contains the modeation controls for postings from both members and -non-members. +The variables in this section control various filters based on the +recipient of the message. <P> <DL> -<DT><STRONG>default_member_moderation</STRONG></DT> -<DD>Member postings are held for moderation if their <i>moderation - flag</i> is turned on. Note that only the list administrators can - change the value of a member's moderation flag. - -<P> -You can control whether new members get their moderation flag - turned on or off by default when they subscribe to the list. By - turning this flag off by default, postings by members will be - allowed without further intervention (barring other restrictions - such as size or implicit recipient lists - see below). By - turning the flag on, you can quarantine new member postings to - make sure that they meet your criteria for netiquette, topicality, - etc. Once you determine that the new member understands the - community's posting rules, you can turn off their moderation flag - and let their postings go through unstopped. - -<P> -E-newsletter style lists can also be set up by using the - moderation flag. By setting the <code>member_moderation_action</code> - to <i>Reject</i>, and by turning off the moderation flag for just - the few approved senders, your list will operate in essentially a - one-way direction. Note that you'd also need to reject or discard - postings from non-members. - -<P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>member_moderation_action</STRONG></DT> -<DD>This is the action to take for postings from a member who's - moderation flag is set. For typical discussion lists, you'll - likely set this to <i>Hold</i> so that the list moderator will get - a chance to manually approve, reject, or discard the message. For - e-newsletter and announcement lists, you might want to set this to - <i>Reject</i> or <i>Discard</i>. - -<P> -Note that when a moderated member posts to your list, and the - <code>member_moderation_action</code> is set to <i>Hold</i>, the message - will appear on the administrative requests page. When you dispose - of the message, you will be given an opportunity to clear the - moderation flag at the same time. If you're quarantining new - posts, this makes it very convenient to both approve a new - member's post and de-moderate them at the same time. +<DT><STRONG>require_explicit_destination</STRONG></DT> +<DD>This controls whether the mailing list posting address must be + explicitly named in the <span class="mailheader">To:</span> or <span class="mailheader">Cc:</span> + recipient lists. The main reason why it wouldn't is if the + message was blind-carbon-copied (i.e. <span class="mailheader">Bcc:</span>'d) to the + list. Spammers like to do this, but sometimes legitimate messages + are forwarded to the list this way. <P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>member_moderation_notice</STRONG></DT> -<DD>When a member's moderation flag is turned on and - <code>member_moderation_action</code> is <i>Reject</i>, this variable - contains the text sent in the rejection notice. -</DD> -</DL> - -<P> -The next batch of variables controls what happens when non-members -post messages to the list. Each of these accepts one email address -per line; regular expressions are allowed if the line starts with the -(caret) character. These address lists are always consulted in the -order in which they're presented on this page (i.e. accepts first, -followed by holds, rejections, and discards). - -<P> -<DL> -<DT><STRONG>accept_these_nonmembers</STRONG></DT> -<DD>Postings from non-members whose addresses match this list are - accepted, barring other list restrictions due to size, implicit - recipients, etc. You might want to add alternative addresses of - approved posters to this list. - -<P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>hold_these_nonmembers</STRONG></DT> -<DD>Postings from non-members whose addresses match this list are - held for moderator approval. - -<P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>reject_these_nonmembers</STRONG></DT> -<DD>Postings from non-members whose addresses match this list are - rejected, i.e. bounced back to the original sender. There - currently is no way to add additional text to the rejection - message. - -<P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>discard_these_nonmembers</STRONG></DT> -<DD>Postings from non-members whose addresses match this list are - discarded, with no bounce back message. You might want to add the - addresses of known spammers to this list. +If the list is not explicitly addressed and this setting is turned + on, the message will be held for moderator approval. <P> </DD> -<DT><STRONG>generic_nonmember_action</STRONG></DT> -<DD>This variable controls what happens to non-member posts when the - address of the sender doesn't match any of the above four lists. - If you set this to <i>Hold</i>, the posting will appear on the - administrative requests page, and you will be given an opportunity - to add the non-member to one of the above four lists at the same - time you dispose of the held message. +<DT><STRONG>acceptable_aliases</STRONG></DT> +<DD>This is the list of alternative addresses that are acceptable as a + list posting address when <code>require_explicit_destination</code> is + enabled. This is useful for when there aliases for the main + posting address (e.g. <code>help@example.com</code> may be an alias for + <code>help-list@example.com</code>). <P> </DD> -<DT><STRONG>forward_auto_discards</STRONG></DT> -<DD>When messages from non-members are discarded, either because the - sender address matched <code>discard_these_nonmembers</code>, or because - <code>generic_nonmember_action</code> is <i>Discard</i>, you can choose - whether such messages are forwarded to the lsit administrators or - not. +<DT><STRONG>max_num_recipients</STRONG></DT> +<DD>This is the maximum number of explicit recipients that are allowed + on the posted message. Spammers sometimes send messages with lots + of explicit recipients, so setting this number to a reasonable + value may cut down on spam. </DD> </DL> <P> <DIV CLASS="navigation"> -<p><hr> +<div class='online-navigation'> +<p></p><hr /> <table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> <tr> -<td><A HREF="node22.html"><img src="../icons/previous.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="Previous Page" width="32"></A></td> -<td><A HREF="node21.html"><img src="../icons/up.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="Up One Level" width="32"></A></td> -<td><A HREF="node24.html"><img src="../icons/next.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="Next Page" width="32"></A></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="prev" title="2.7.2 Sender filters" + href="node22.html"><img src='previous.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Previous Page' width='32' /></A></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="parent" title="2.7 The Privacy Options" + href="node20.html"><img src='up.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Up One Level' width='32' /></A></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="next" title="2.7.4 Spam Filters" + href="node24.html"><img src='next.png' + 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> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="contents" title="Table of Contents" + href="contents.html"><img src='contents.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Contents' width='32' /></A></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> </tr></table> -<b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node22.html">3.7.1 Subscription rules</A> -<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node21.html">3.7 The Privacy Options</A> -<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node24.html">3.7.3 Recipient Filters</A> -<hr> -<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on October 2, 2004.</span> +<div class='online-navigation'> +<b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="prev" href="node22.html">2.7.2 Sender filters</A> +<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="parent" href="node20.html">2.7 The Privacy Options</A> +<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="next" href="node24.html">2.7.4 Spam Filters</A> +</div> +</div> +<hr /> +<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on December 13, 2004.</span> </DIV> <!--End of Navigation Panel--> |
