Accepted List Members

This setting tells Lyris List Manager to allow subscribe requests and postings from these people. If an accepted person tries to submit a posting or subscribe to your list, they will always be allowed.

This feature works by matching the text patterns that you specify matched against the entire From: line that includes both the person's email address and their name.

If any text pattern matches, the person is accepted. For example, if you wanted to accept all members from "doright.com", you would type:

    doright.com

If you wanted to accept the email addresses "jane@doright.com" and "bob@doright.com" you would enter these email addresses on two separate lines:

    bob@doright.com
    jane@doright.com

If you wanted to accept a person named "Jane Doright" and "Bob Benevolent" you would type:

    Jane Doright
    Bob Benevolent

Note: This would accept any person whose name is matched, regardless of their email address.

Please also note that Accept takes precedence over Banned. Thus, if you want to allow some people from "doright.com" but not everyone you would put the following entries in Accepted:

    Bob@doright.com

    Jane@doright.com

Then, you would put the following entry in Banned:

    Doright.com
