Banned List Members

This setting tells ListManager to deny subscription requests and postings from these people. If a banned person tries to join your mailing list, they will be rejected.

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 banned. For example, if you wanted to ban all members from "trouble.com", you would type:

trouble.com

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

bob@trouble.com
jane@trouble.com

If you wanted to ban a person named "Jane Trouble" and "Bob Mischief" you would type:

Jane Trouble
Bob Mischief

Note: This would ban any person whose name is matched, regardless of their email address. There is a "not contains" feature which is activated by placing a tilde, a "~" at the beginning of the line. In the above example, to ban everyone except email addresses from "mycorp.com", you would type:

~@mycorp.com

However, you are encouraged to use the Accepted setting rather than the tilde notation. The tilde notation is confusing when multiple values are put in, whereas the "Accepted" feature is much more straightforward to comprehend.
