Security

This section contains the list settings related to security. This section has the following options.

Black List Mask

Allows you to specify patterns for blacklisting users on the list. Enter one pattern per line. If any of the patterns match a part of the email address of a user, that user will not be allowed to subscribe or post to the mailing list. For example, a pattern @spammers.org will block all posts from any email address with domain spammers.org (eg: tom@spammers.org). To restrict one user, enter the full username of the user. (eg: user@spamdomai-n.com).

Mail From Non-members

Here you can specify what happens to posts from email addresses that are not subscribed to the list. The following options are available :

• Accept    The mail will be accepted and sent to all list members.
• Send To Moderator     Send the post to a moderator. The mail will be sent to list members only if a moderator approves it.
• Discard    Reject the mail.

Post Password

You may specify an optional password for posting to the list. If a post password is set, then only those members who know the password can post to the mailing list. All posts to the list without the following line in the message body or header will be rejected:

X-Posting-Pass: <post password>

To disable this authentication requirement, leave this field empty.

Who is allowed to view member list?

You can select who will be allowed to see a list of members in the mailing list. The following options are available:

• Current Members Only    Only subscribed users can see the list of members.
• The Administrator Only    Only the list administrator can see the list of members. This is the recommended option.
• Anybody    Anybody can view the list of mailing list members. This options is dangerous since it allows spammers to harvest email addresses from the list, and should be avoided if possible.
