Basic Configuration

Secure List Port is accessed from Secure Mail Suite. Click Secure List Port in the General Configuration section of the Secure Mail Suite. Before you can create mailing lists, you must set up basic configuration to make sure that Secure List Port can send and receive mail and is accessible from the Internet. This is done in the Global Settings section.

List Server E-Mail Address

This is the e-mail address of the mailing list management software. All list commands, including subscribe/unsubscribe requests, should be sent to this address. The domain part of this email address should be a virtual domain defined on the system. Eg: list-mgr@corp.guar-diandigital.com. You need to define a List Server Email Address before you can use Secure List Port.

In the above example, corp.guardiandigital.com should be a virtual domain already created on this machine. A virtual domain can be created using the Virtual Domains section of Secure Mail Suite. You can find instructions for creating virtual domains in Guardian Digital Secure Mail Suite manual, section 6.3.2. The address list-mgr will be created in the virtual domain corp.guardiandigital.com. You should not delete it manually.

In the example setup, an email to list-mgr@corp.guardiandigital.com with the subject ``subscribe testlist'' should subscribe the sender to the mailing list named testlist if it exists.

List Server Admin E-Mail

This is the email address of the list administrator. This should be a real email address, belonging to the person who would manage the mailing lists created on this machine.

Full Name of the List Manager

The friendly name to appear in email sent from the Secure List Port. Eg: "Secure List Port".

Digest Processing Interval

How often to send out digests, if digests are enabled.

Logging Level

You can specify the log level here. Logs can be viewed by clicking on the View Logs link. You will get more log messages in a higher log level. This option controls general log messages only. Verbosity of log messages related to a particular mailing list can be configured in the configuration section of that particular mailing list.

Global Blacklist

This is a blacklist of users banned from subscribing to mailing lists existing on this server. Enter one pattern per line. If the email address of the sender contains any of the patterns defined here, he will be prohibited from subscribing to any list. Eg: The entry @spamcentral.com will block all email with domain spamcentral.com, like tom@spamcentral.com. To restrict one user, enter the full username of the user. (eg: user@spamdomain-.com).

Secure List Port UI

Secure List Port provides a web interface, called Secure List Port User Interface, where the users can log in and manage their subscription. Users can see various mailing lists available and subscribe/unsubscribe to a list, through this interface. To enable the web interface, you must select a virtual host. All virtual hosts defined on this server will be available in the drop down menu. You will need to create at-least one virtual host in the Virtual Hosts section accessible from the main index page, before you can use this feature. Select a virtual host and click on Update Settings. The WebTool will provide you with the link to the web interface. If you want to disable the web interface, select No Virtual Host.

Click Update Settings to save the settings.
