Server Settings: Advanced: Global Ban Settings

The Global Ban Settings determine what ListManager server should be used to download member bans from. This allows a hosting company to ban members across all servers by setting the ban on a single server and then pointing other servers to it. The information from the global ban server is added to the ban information from the local server, including the information in the local machine's server-wide ban settings. Therefore, all list, site, and server bans are kept from the local machine, but additional bans will be loaded from the server-wide settings of the ban server. An empty Server Address indicates that no server is available.

Members can be banned by domain or email address. For more information on member bans, see Utilities: Members: Bans.

Note: In order for global ban settings to function properly, all the servers which may receive mail from banned members must be entered in the GUI hosts page. Please see Utilities: Administration: Server: Server Settings: Security: GUI Hosts for more information.

Server Address

Enter the IP address of the server which will be used to download member bans. Use aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd format. If no IP address is set here, then member bans will only apply to the server they are individually set for, rather than pointing to one global server for all member bans.

TclPort Port

ListManager will default to the standard port used by the server, which is "2021". This port is used to communicate with the web interface and with other programs. Generally, this setting should not be changed.

TclPort Password

Access to the Command Protocol is password protected, so that outsiders cannot affect your server. ListManager will default to the standard password, which is "TCLPORTPasswd". Generally, this setting should not be changed. However, if you do change this password, immediately after changing it the web interface will no longer work. This is because the web interface configuration file tclhttpd.rc will still have the old password, and will no longer be able to access the Command Protocol of your ListManager. So, immediately after making a change to the Tclport Password and saving the change, you will need to edit the tclhttpd.rc file that is found in your ListManager/tclweb/lib directory. You will want to change the line Config tclport_password {TCLPORTPasswd} to reflect the new password that you have set.

Note: If you do not change your Tclport Password, you are still well protected by the Tclport Hosts setting available at Utilities: Administration: Server: Server Settings: Security: GUI Hosts.
