Click on the General Settings link on the pop-up window to
access this section. This section is for performing basic configuration
of the list. You may edit the following parameters here.
- Mail List Name.
- You may change the name of the list here. Click
the link [Cha-nge], shown next to the name of the list,
to change the name of the mailing list. Enter the new name in the
option New Name and click Change Name.
Remember that changing the name will not change the name of the mailing
list appearing in old list archives. When you change the name of the
list, all existing mail aliases and virtual domain addresses created
for this list will be rewritten by the Secure List Port.
- Domain Name
- You can change the domain name of the list.
Select a new virtual domain from the drop down menu. You will need
to have created a virtual domain using the Secure Mail
Suite before being able to use it here.
- Moderated
- You may select whether the list is moderated or not. If
the list is moderated, all emails sent to the list will need to be
approved by list moderators before they are sent to all members in
the mailing list.
- List Owner
- You can change the email address of the list owner here.
- CC List
- A comma separated list of local mailing lists which receive
copies of all posts made to this list.
- Union List
- This is a comma separated list of local mailing lists,
whose members can post to this list even if this list is is closed.
- Subject Tag
- This is the optional tag to be included in the subject
lines of posts sent to the list. Eg: [Engarde Users].
- Maximum Size Of Mail
- Posts which are larger than this number
in bytes will be moderated.
- Subscription Type
- Subscription type can be Open, Closed or
Require Confirmation. If the list is Open, anybody can subscribe
to the list, without approval from the list administrators. If the
list is Closed, new members will need to be approved by the
list administrators before they are subscribed to the list. If the
list subscription requires confirmation, new members requesting subscription
will be asked to confirm their subscription request in a second email,
so that their email addresses can be verified.
- Unsubscription Type
- Unsubscription Type can be Open, Closed
or Require Confirmation. These options are similar to the subscription
type.
- Administrivia
- If administrivia is set to Yes, subscription/unsubscription
attempt notifications will be sent to list administrators. If set
to no, the notifications will not be sent to the administrators.
- Attachment Handling
- You can prohibit attachments in posts to this
mailing list. If you select Yes, attachments will be stripped
from posts to this list, according to the criteria defined below.
- Remove All Attachments Strip all attachments
from posts to this list
- Remove All Attachments Except TEXT/PLAIN Strip
all attachments except plain text attachments. The text attachments
will be added to the body of message, and all other types of attachments
will be removed.
- Remove All Attachments Except TEXT/PLAIN and HTML
Strip all attachments except plain text and HTML attachments.
HTML attachments will be converted to text and will be appended to
the message body. All other types of attachments will be stripped.
By default, when an attachment is stripped, a small notification is
appended to the message body informing the recipient that there were
attachments with this mail. If you opt to remove attachments silently,
the notification will not be added to posts when attachments are stripped
from them.
Click Update Settings to save the configuration.
