Utilities: Other: Action Phrases: New Action Phrase: Essentials

Phrase

(required) Determines the word or phrase that will trigger this action. For example, if the phrase were "make money fast", a message which used this phrase would trigger this action. Instead of their message going to the mailing list, the sender would receive a document via email.

This is an effective way to block unwanted topics on your mailing list.

You can have several phrases, any of which will cause this action, by entering several phrases in the field, one phrase on each line.

For power users, action phrases support regular expression for matching text. To specify that a given action phrase text is a regular expression you surround the text with / characters, as in: /regexp/ (Note: Regular expressions are a sophisticated mathematical description for text matching patterns). A complete description of the regular express syntax in ListManager is available here: ftp://ftp.lyris.com/listmanager/doc/regex.txt

Response

(required) Determines what response, if any, when this action phrase is triggered.

If you select a document, the document will be sent to the person who sent the message. The message itself will be discarded. You cannot select a document and have the message continue to be processed by ListManager.

If you choose "nothing" then no document will be mailed back and the email message that caused the "action phrase hit" will be discarded. You can use this "nothing" action phrase response to stop mail loops or to blacklist people that you don't want accessing your server.

If you choose "continue", the message will continue to be processed.
