Mailing List

List's name

Specify a name for the mailing list here. This is used with the List domain for the list's email address (e.g. mylist@example.com). List names cannot contain " ! " or " | ".

List domain

Use the List domain drop-down to choose the domain to which the list will belong. The List's name and List domain are used as the list's email address (e.g. mylist@example.com).

Description (used in List-ID: header)

Enter a short description of your mailing list here if you wish to add it to the List-ID: header included in messages that are sent to the list. The description and the list's identifier will be included in the header (e.g. List-ID: "Frank's personal mailing list" <MyList.example.com>) Note that the list's identifier is the mailing list's address with "." substituted for "@" in order to comply with the List-ID specification. If you leave the Description option blank then the List-ID: header will contain only the list identifier (e.g. List-ID: <MyList.example.com>). If an incoming message addressed to the list has a preexisting List-ID: header, MDaemon will replace the old header with the appropriate one for the list.

Last Access

Displays the time that someone last accessed this list. This can help you more easily identify lists that are rarely or no longer used.

Mailing List Options

Refuse messages from non list members

When this control is enabled, the list will be considered a "private" list, meaning that only list members can send messages to the list. Messages originating from non-members will be refused.

Refuse messages from domains with restrictive DMARC policies

Enable this option if you wish to reject any incoming message to the list that is sent by someone from a domain that publishes restrictive DMARC policies (i.e. p=quarantine or p=reject). It is generally not necessary to enable this option if you are using the "Replace 'From:' email address with list's email address if..." option located on the Headers screen.

If both this option and the "Replace 'From:' email address with list's email address if..." option are disabled then that would likely cause some list messages to be rejected by some receiving servers, and in some cases it could cause the recipient to be automatically removed from list membership. You should therefore take care to ensure that at least one of these options is enabled.

Hide this list from the global address book

Click this option to hide the mailing list from the WorldClient and LDAP public address books.

EXPN and LIST commands work for this list

By default MDaemon will not honor EXPN and LIST commands for lists, in order to keep the membership private. If you enable this option then the membership of the list will be reported in response to an EXPN or LISTS command during a mail session.

List refuses messages larger than [xx] KB

This control places an upper limit on the size of a message accepted for this mailing list. Messages larger than this limit are refused.
