Posting to a Mailman List

Posting to a Mailman List

• The list administrator and moderators are not automatically allowed to post.

This allows for the separation of content makers versus list management. At least, I guess that's the theory.

Allowing list members post

If you look at the Membership Management page you'll see the "Mod" checkbox. This stands for "moderated". If it is checked the message will not immediately be posted. It will be dealt with by the policy set in "Privacy Options"->"Sender Filters"-> "Action to take when a moderated member posts to the list". This can be set to Hold, Reject, or Discard.

Hold

Messages that are caught by the Hold policy will appear in the "Tend to pending moderator requests"

Reject

Messages that are caught by the Reject policy will be discarded, but a reject message will be send to the originator.

Text for the rejection message can be set in "Privacy Options"->"Sender Filters"-> "Text to include in any rejection notice to be sent to moderated members who post to this list."

Discard

These messages are simply discarded.
