Utilities: Administration: Server: 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 Members: Bans.

Specify which IP address ListManager should use to connect to the global ban server in Utilities: Administration: Server: Server Settings: Machine/Node Settings: IP Addresses.

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

The port ListManager connect to the ban server .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. This setting should be the same as the remote server setting in Utilities: Administration: Server: Server Settings: Network Settings: Ports.

TclPort Password

The password that ListManager should use when connecting to the ban server. 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.
