2.7.3 Recipient Filters

From 3a258ad5cdd98c5705af6c02ba91993b3d382adc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Barry Warsaw Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2007 17:23:41 -0500 Subject: Because the admin directory is no longer included, the www directory isn't either, and that's where the generated docs used to live. So now, make this directory include the generated docs, removing the old IPC7 and LISA-98 directories, and the .tex source files. These latter are moved to the admin repository. --- doc/mailman-admin/node23.html | 133 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 133 insertions(+) create mode 100644 doc/mailman-admin/node23.html (limited to 'doc/mailman-admin/node23.html') diff --git a/doc/mailman-admin/node23.html b/doc/mailman-admin/node23.html new file mode 100644 index 00000000..eb6ab6c1 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/mailman-admin/node23.html @@ -0,0 +1,133 @@ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +2.7.3 Recipient Filters + + + + + +

+2.7.3 Recipient Filters +

+ +

+The variables in this section control various filters based on the +recipient of the message. + +

require_explicit_destination

This controls whether the mailing list posting address must be + explicitly named in the To: or Cc: + recipient lists. The main reason why it wouldn't is if the + message was blind-carbon-copied (i.e. Bcc:'d) to the + list. Spammers like to do this, but sometimes legitimate messages + are forwarded to the list this way. + +

+If the list is not explicitly addressed and this setting is turned + on, the message will be held for moderator approval. + +

acceptable_aliases

This is the list of alternative addresses that are acceptable as a + list posting address when require_explicit_destination is + enabled. This is useful for when there aliases for the main + posting address (e.g. help@example.com may be an alias for + help-list@example.com). + +

max_num_recipients

This is the maximum number of explicit recipients that are allowed + on the posted message. Spammers sometimes send messages with lots + of explicit recipients, so setting this number to a reasonable + value may cut down on spam. +
