Membership
This box display the email addresses and names of all members currently subscribed to the list. Each member's entry also states its "type" of membership: normal, digest, read only, or post only.
Remove
To remove a member from the list, select its entry and then click this button.
Toggle digest
Select a member and then click this button to make it a Digest membership.
Toggle read only
Select a member's entry and then click this button to switch it to "Read Only" status. The member will still receive messages from the list but will not be allowed to send them to it.
Post only/no mail
Clicking this button after selecting a member will set the membership to "Post Only." A Post Only member can send messages to the list but will not receive any.
Adding New Members
New member email
Enter the email address that you wish to add to the mailing list, or click the Account icon if you wish to browse MDaemon accounts to add one to the list. List member addresses cannot contain “ ! ” or “|”.
|
If you wish to add all of your MDaemon users or all users of one of your domains, then you can enter ALL_USERS or ALL_USERS:<domain> respectively, instead of entering a specific email address. For example, adding ALL_USERS:example.com as a member of a list has the same effect as adding every example.com user account separately. Adding ALL_USERS as a member is the same as added every MDaemon account, regardless of the domain. |
New member real name
Enter the member's name in this field. This name will appear in the "To:" header of list messages when the "Replace 'TO:' header text with: member's full name" option is selected on the Settings.
Normal, Digest, Read only, Post only
Click the option that you want to be applied to the New member's email.
Add
This button adds the entry in the New member's email option to the members list.
Default
Click any one of the options next to this button (Normal, Digest, Read Only, Post Only) and then click the button to make that option the default setting for new members.
Import
Click this button to import list members from a text file that has its fields separated by commas (i.e. a comma delimited file). Each entry must be on its own line and all of its fields must be separated by commas. Further, the first line of the file (the baseline) must list the names of the fields and the order in which they appear in the remaining lines. One of the fields must be called "Email" and contain email addresses. There are also two optional fields: "FullName" and "Type". FullName is for the list member's name. Type can have a value of: "read only", "post only", "digest", or "normal". All other fields will be ignored by the importer.
For example:
"Email", "FullName", "Type", "Address", "telephone"
"user01@altn.com", "Michael Mason", "Digest", "123 Street St", "519.555.0100"
Imported members do not receive the list welcome packet (if any), and the importer will not check for member duplicates.
Automatically remove dead addresses from list membership
When this feature is enabled, MDaemon will automatically remove an address from the members list when it encounters a permanent fatal error while attempting delivery. An addresses is also considered "dead" and removed when the message is moved to the Retry system and subsequently expires from that system.
|
The Automatically remove dead addresses... option is only designed to assist in situations where the remote mail server refuses to accept messages. This will only work when "Deliver list mail to each member individually" has been selected on the Routing screen. If you are instead routing list messages to a smart host then see Enhanced List Pruning below for more information. |
Current number of list members:
The total number of members currently subscribed to the list is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
When the Automatically remove dead addresses... option is enabled and you have specified a local mailbox as the return path for the list's messages (see the List's SMTP 'Bounce' address option on Notifications), each day at midnight MDaemon will attempt to parse problem addresses from the returned mail and remove those members that couldn't be reached. This will aid in more efficiently pruning invalid addresses from mailing lists, especially when you are routing the list's messages to a smart host rather than delivering them directly.
On Preferences » Miscellaneous there are two options related to this feature. The List pruner deletes messages that don't contain parsable addresses option will cause returned messages that do not contain a parsable address to be deleted, and the List pruner saves messages which result in list member removal option will cause all messages that result in a list member being deleted to be saved.
