Programming Extensions at the Server Level

Run program before lyris@

This setting allows you extend ListManager command processing with your own program. When mail is sent to lyris@… your program will first be run and then your program can do any processing it wishes on the message. If your program wants to stop processing of the message, it can delete it.

See "How can I extend ListManager with my own programs?".

Run program after lyris@

This setting allows you extend ListManager command processing with your own program. When mail is sent to lyris@… the message will be processed and then your program can do any additional processing it wishes on the message.

See "How can I extend ListManager with my own programs?".

Extensions Directory

This option allows you to define the directory where all the ListManager extensions are located. This adds a level of security to extensions, as it prevents ListManager from running any program on your computer -- only programs in this directory are allowed.

Disable Extensions

This option allows you turn off the programming "Extensions" feature of ListManager. The fields for "run program before" and "run program after" will continue to appear in the web interface, but they will have no effect.

Some administrators prefer to not allow extensions on their server, in order to enhance security.
