+<h3><a name="SECTION002215000000000000000">
+2.1.5 Additional settings</a>
+</h3>
+
+<p>
+This section contains some miscellaneous settings for your mailing
+list.
+
+<p>
+<dl>
+<dt><strong>emergency</strong></dt>
+<dd>When this option is enabled, all list traffic is emergency
+ moderated, i.e. held for moderation. Turn this option on when
+ your list is experiencing a flamewar and you want a cooling off
+ period.
+
+<p>
+</dd>
+<dt><strong>new_member_options</strong></dt>
+<dd>Each member has a set of subscription options which they can use
+ to control how they receive messages and otherwise interact with
+ the list. While the members can change these settings by logging
+ into their personal options page, you might want to set the
+ default for a number of the member options. You can do that with
+ this variable, but see also the other categories for other member
+ defaults you can set.
+
+<p>
+This variable presents a set of checkboxes which control the
+ defaults for some of the member options. <em>Conceal the
+ member's address</em> specifies whether or not the address is
+ displayed in the list roster. <em>Acknowledge the member's
+ posting</em> controls whether or not Mailman sends an acknowledgement
+ to a member when they post a message to the list. <em>Do not
+ send a copy of a member's own post</em> specifies whether a member
+ posting to the list will get a copy of their own posting.
+ <em>Filter out duplicate messages to list members (if possible)</em>
+ specifies whether members who are explicitly listed as a recipient
+ of a message (e.g. via the <span class="mailheader">Cc:</span> header) will also get a
+ copy from Mailman.
+
+<p>
+Of course, members can always override these defaults by making
+ changes on their membership options page.
+
+<p>
+</dd>
+<dt><strong>administrivia</strong></dt>
+<dd>This option specifies whether Mailman will search posted messages
+ for <em>admimistrivia</em>, in other words, email commands which
+ usually should be posted to the <code>-request</code> address for the
+ list. Setting this to <em>Yes</em> helps prevent such things as
+ unsubscribe messages getting erroneously posted to the list.
+
+<p>
+If a message seems to contain administrivia, it is held for
+ moderator approval.
+
+<p>
+</dd>
+<dt><strong>max_message_size</strong></dt>
+<dd>This option specifies a maximum message size, in kilobytes, over
+ which the message will be held for moderator approval.
+
+<p>
+</dd>
+<dt><strong>host_name</strong></dt>
+<dd>This option specifies the host name part of email addresses used
+ by this list. For example, this is the <code>example.com</code> part of
+ the posting address <code>mylist@example.com</code>.
+
+<p>
+It's generally not a good idea to change this value, since its
+ default value is specified when the mailing list is created.
+ Changing this to an incorrect value could make it difficult to
+ contact your mailing list. Also not that the url used to visit
+ the list's pages is not configurable through the web interface.
+ This is because if you messed it up, you'd have to have the site
+ administrator fix it.
+
+<p>
+</dd>
+<dt><strong>include_rfc2369_headers</strong></dt>
+<dd><a class="rfc" id='rfcref-1033' xml:id='rfcref-1033'
+href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2369.html">RFC 2369</a> is an internet standard that describes a bunch of
+ headers that mailing list managers should add to messages to make
+ it easier for people to interact with the list. Mail reading
+ programs which support this standard may provide buttons for easy
+ access to the list's archives, or for subscribing and
+ unsubscribing to the list. It's generally a good idea to enable
+ these headers as it provides for an improved user experience.
+ These headers are often called the <code>List-*</code> headers.
+
+<p>
+However, not all mail readers are standards compliant yet, and if
+ you have a large number of members who are using non-compliant
+ mail readers, they may be annoyed at these headers. You should
+ first try to educate your members as to why these headers exist,
+ and how to hide them in their mail clients. As a last resort you
+ can disable these headers, but this is not recommended.
+
+<p>
+</dd>
+<dt><strong>include_list_post_header</strong></dt>
+<dd>The <span class="mailheader">List-Post:</span> header is one of the headers
+ recommended by <a class="rfc" id='rfcref-1035' xml:id='rfcref-1035'
+href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2369.html">RFC 2369</a>. However for some announce-only mailing
+ lists, only a very select group of people are allowed to post to
+ the list; the general membership is usually not allowed to post to
+ such lists. For lists of this nature, the <span class="mailheader">List-Post:</span>
+ header is misleading. Select <em>No</em> to disable the inclusion
+ of this header. (This does not affect the inclusion of the other
+ <code>List-*</code> headers.)
