Pull Only Members Receiving Regular Email?

When posting to a list or a subset, ListManager automatically adds some additional restrictions to the member selection query. These restrictions only allow sending of mail to members who are set to receive messages as they are sent ( i.e. not digests or no-mail ). However, there are times when one might want to send to all members of a list regardless of whether they are set to receive message as sent or digests.

This type of posting is possible by modifying the Pull Only Members Receiving Regular Email section in the Advanced Subsets page. In general, one should never need to modify these settings, and problems can occur if you modify these settings without understanding the consequences. For example, you could end up sending to members who don't want to receive email from you, or you could send to every member on the server inadvertantly.

By default, the subset will only send to members who have selected to receive normal postings, not digests, mimedigests, or who have set themselves to not receive mail at all. By selecting "No, pull ALL members, regardless of email type", you will be sending an email message to members regardless of the type of message they have signed themselves up for.

Warning: By selecting "No", you may be sending to people who do not want to receive ordinary email messages from you. These people may be unhappy about receiving email from you at all, or in a format they haven't selected.
