Normally, an overview contains the name + and short description of every mailing list in the virtual + domain. By setting this variable to <em>No</em>, it will not show + up in this overview, nor will it show up in the administrative + overview. The only way then to find the list is to guess (or + know!) its name. + +<p> +</dd> +<dt><strong>subscribe_policy</strong></dt> +<dd>This option controls the steps that a new member must take to join + the list. The available options may differ based on some defaults + that the site administrator chooses. They are: + +<p> + +<ul> +<li>None - No verification is done on the subscribing + member. This is also called <em>open subscriptions</em> and is + generally disabled by default. The site administrator must + allow list admins to choose this option; if not, this option + will not be presented to you. + +<p> +</li> +<li>Confirm - An email confirmation step is required before the + address is added to the list. When a member requests + subscription, either via the web page or by sending a + message to <var>yourlist</var><code>-join@example.com</code>, Mailman + will send a confirmation message to the requesting address. + This mail-back confirmation contains a unique identifier, + which the requester can present to Mailman in order to + confirm their subscription. This can be done either by + replying to the mail-back, or by visiting the url in the + mail-back message. The url points to a page that lets the + user either discard or confirm their request. + +<p> +</li> +<li>Require approval - All subscription requests are held for + approval of the list moderator. No mail-back confirmation + is sent, but the list admins will recieve a message + indicating that approval is pending. + +<p> +</li> +<li>Confirm and approve - Here, a mail-back notice must first + be confirmed by the requester. Once confirmed, the list + moderator must then approve the request. This is the most + secure method for users to subscribe since it both verifies + the requesting address, and forces the list moderators to + approve the request. + +<p> +</li> +</ul> + +<p> +</dd> +<dt><strong>unsubscribe_policy</strong></dt> +<dd>Specifies whether the list moderator's approval is required for + unsubscription requests. <em>No</em> is highly recommended, since + it is exceedingly impolite to not allow people to leave a mailing + list whenever they want (i.e. opt-out). <em>Yes</em> is useful in + some specialized contexts; e.g. you may not want to allow + employees to unsubscribe from the company newsletter. + +<p> +</dd> +<dt><strong>ban_list</strong></dt> +<dd>This contains a list of addresses (or regular expressiosn), one + per line, that are banned from ever subscribing to your mailing + list. If a match occurs during the subscription process, the + request will be automatically rejected, and the requester will get + a rejection notice. You can use this to permanently ban + troublesome posters to a members-only list. + +<p> +</dd> +<dt><strong>private_roster</strong></dt> +<dd>This specifies who is allowed to view the roster of member + addresses. If you choose <em>Anyone</em>, then the list membership + is completely public. You can limit exposure of the roster to + just list members, or just to the list administrators. In the + former case, a user must enter a valid member's address and + password before they can view the roster. In the latter case, a + list administrator's password must be enter; if a matching admin + password is entered, address field is ignored. + +<p> +</dd> +<dt><strong>obscure_addresses</strong></dt> +<dd>Controls whether some simple obfuscation of addresses is used when + member addresses are included on web pages. This should reduce + the opportunity for email address harvesting by spammers, although + it probably doesn't eliminate it. +</dd> +</dl> + +<p> + +<div class="navigation"> +<div class='online-navigation'> +<p></p><hr /> +<table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> +<tr> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="prev" title="2.7 the Privacy Options" + href="node20.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="2.7.2 sender filters" + href="node22.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 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> +<div class='online-navigation'> +<b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="prev" href="node20.html">2.7 The Privacy Options</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="node22.html">2.7.2 Sender filters</a> +</div> +</div> +<hr /> +<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on December 5, 2007.</span> +</div> +<!--End of Navigation Panel--> + +</body> +</html> |
