List Server

list_server_list_server

Field	Description
Alias	A unique identifier for the Account within the Domain.
Description	A short description of the Account.
Owner	The email address of the owner of the List Server. Multiple addresses can be specified, separated by semi-colons. This address is used for replies from the List Server and also for confirmation messages.
Source	Will this list server serve all Mailing Lists on this server or only a sub-set? All domain mailing lists Select this to have this single List Server serving all Mailing lists on this domain. Mailing lists from text file Select this option if you want to have multiple list servers serving different sub-sets of domains or you only want this list server to serve a subst of Mailing Lists. The text file containing the Mailing list(s) to be served is selected in the next option
List file	By default this option is left blank, allowing all mailing lists within the domain to be administered just by this one List Server. If you need to have multiple List Servers controlling different sets of Mailing Lists, then you should create a List file specifying which Mailing List Accounts are controlled by this List Server. Each Mailing List address should be specified on a separate line, as shown below: list1@domain.com list2@domain.com
Subscription	No confirmation Subscription (or Join) requests are processed without any confirmation. User confirmed Subscription requests will only be processed if the Subscribing email came directly from the subscribing email address. This stops Users from subscribing other people to the list. Owner confirmed Subscriptions requests must be confirmed via email by the owner of the Mailing List.
Command in Subject	Checked by default, only the Subject Header of an incoming message will be checked for a command. If you uncheck this option commands must be contained within the body of the message and multiple commands can be issued.
