Utilities: List Settings: Web Created Content

Utilities: List Settings: Web Created Content specifies default headers for content and mailings created through the ListManager administrator's web interface. These settings do not affect mailings sent to the list via email; see Utilities: List Settings: Email Submitted Content to configure these defaults.

You can also choose a default setting for the Track All URLs feature on this page.

Default From

By default, the Default From: email address for web created content and mailings is set to "login", which uses the name and email address of the current administrator logged into the list, formatted as follows:

"Admin Name" <adminemail@example.com>

If blank, the From: address is left blank, and must be filled in every time content or a new mailing is created.

In some cases, you may want to obscure the email address of the administrator who created the mailing and replace that address with another. For instance, if several people in the sales department of your organization can contribute announcements, you may want the From: to say sales@your-company… rather than the email address of the actual author. Doing so protects the original author's identity and prevents list members from contacting the author directly.

You may also use the email address of the list in this field, if you like.

Note: This field must be a valid email address. If you do not specify a valid email address for this field, you will likely have problems when you try to mail. Some sites will refuse your mail, while others will show strange information in the From: field on the messages they receive.

Examples of valid values for this field include:

bob@example.com
Bob Smith <bob@example.com>
bob@example.com (Bob Smith)
"Bob Smith" <bob@example.com>
"listname" <listname@yourlistmanagerserver.com

Note that by default there is no Reply To: header for web created content. If you would like to have a Reply To: header, specify it in Utilities: List Settings: Email Submitted Content: Header Rewrites.

Default To

If specified, this address will be the default To: message header for web created content or mailings. If blank, an email address or appropriate mail merge tag must be entered each time when creating content or a mailing.

Examples of valid values for this field include:

jazz@clio.lyris.net
Jazz Discussion List <jazz@clio.lyris.net>
jazz@clio.lyris.net (Jazz Discussion List)
"Jazz Discussion List" <jazz@clio.lyris.net>
%%nameemail%%
%%emailaddr%%

Default Subject

If specified, this text will be the default Subject: message header for web created content or mailings. If blank, a subject must be entered each time when creating content or a mailing.

Insert Headers and Footers

Specifies if headers and footers and other message wrapping should be added to web created content automatically. By default, ListManager does not add the email headers and footers to your content. However, you may specify that the headers and footers normally applied to email-submitted content also be automatically included as part of web created content.

The list level headers and footers are in Utilities: List Settings: Email Submitted Content: Message Wrapping; the site level headers and footers are in Utilities: Administration: Sites: New/Edit Site: Message Wrapping; and the server level headers and footers are in Utilities: Administration: Server: Server Settings: Advanced: Message Wrapping.

The options are:

Never Insert Headers and Footers for Web Created Content

Headers and footers will not be added to web created content automatically; all unsubscribe and other information must be added manually to mailings.

Automatically Insert Headers and Footers

Headers and footers will be added automatically to every mailing sent. The headers and footers will not be visible or editable, but will be included when the message is sent.

Insert Headers and Footers Into New Content and Mailings

Headers and footers will be included in new content and mailings, but may be edited. The mailing content should be inserted between the preexisting headers and footers.

Note: If a content type will not be used (e.g., a plain-text message, without an HTML message body), the headers and footers should be deleted from the unused message body.

Default with automatically tracking all URLs

This is the default setting for the Track All URLs feature available for mailings. When set to Yes, URLs in the mailing are automatically made clickthrough tracking URLs. You can override this setting on a per-mailing basis.
