Utilities: Administration: Sites: New Site: Bans
Banned Members
This setting tells ListManager to deny subscription requests and postings from these people for any list on the site. If a banned person tries to join any list on this site, 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@trouble.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.
Accepted Members
This setting tells ListManager to allow subscribe requests and postings ONLY from these people to lists on your site. If an accepted person tries to submit a posting or subscribe to your list, they will always be allowed. Everyone else 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 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 Accepted Members takes precedence over Banned Members. 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
