Mailing List Object - Configuration

Configuration

Abstract

A description of the mailing list that is included in the welcome message sent to users when they subscribe to the list.

 

Description

A detailed description of the mailing list. The mailing list description is returned when a user sends a review listname detailed command to the List server.

See the Novell® NetMail® Administration Guide for a complete list of user commands.

 

Moderators

The user(s) assigned to moderate the mailing list. A list user is required.

Click the Browse button to locate and select one or more users in the directory tree.

Moderators can perform the following mailing list functions:

  • Manage and change attributes in the mailing list object by sending commands through their mail client.

  • Add and delete users from the list in bulk.

  • Receive messages to be moderated.

NOTE: Moderators CANNOT create lists.

 

Keep Archive

Archives all messages sent to the mailing list.

Archived messages are kept in an archive folder in the mailing list’s mailbox. For practicality and convenience, you can search archived messages.

Messages are not put in the archive folder until after the digest is created. If the Generate Digest option is not selected, messages are sent directly to the archive folder.

 

Generate Digest

Generates a digest of all messages sent to the current Mailing List object. This option allows users to subscribe to a mailing list digest instead of receiving mailing list messages individually.

Mailing list digests are compilations of the messages broadcast through a mailing list in a 24-hour period. Digests have a table of contents in the body of the message and mailing list messages are included as attachments.

The List Agent generates and distributes digests on a daily basis. (See the List Agent's Digest Creation Time property for more information.)
