Utilities: List Settings: Basic Information: Limits

 

Disable This List

This option allows a site or server administrator to prevent mailings from a list. By default, it is set to No, meaning the list functions normally.

 

The disabled list will accept subscribe and unsubscribe requests, but no new mailings will be distributed to the mailing list. The ability to disable a list is only available and visible to site or server administrators.

 

Max # of Members

This option allows a site or server administrator to set an absolute limit on the number of members who can subscribe to a mailing list. When the maximum number is reached, the list itself will still allow mailings to be sent, but no new members will be allowed to join via subscription through email or a web form.

 

This feature is only available and visible to site and server admins.

If you have limited the membership size of a list, ListManager will send you a message if you are approaching the member limit. While ListManager is processing your add request, it also checks to see how close you are to your member limit. If your add request brings your list to within 5% of the limit, ListManager will inform you in the email notification you receive.

 

Below is an example of what ListManager sends you when your member list is approaching its limit:

 

Note: This list is close to its maximum subscriber limit, with only 5 new subscriber positions available.

 

Please note that this limit only applies for subscriptions received through ListManager. If members are directly added to the SQL Server database, this member limit logic is ignored.

 

Max Referrals Per Day

The maximum number of referrals a member can make per day. Some members may abuse the referral feature by inviting people in order to harass them. Specifying a maximum number of referrals a member can make per day limits the damage from such people.
