Enabling a Mailing List Moderator
You can create a moderated list where the posts must be approved by a list
administrator before the post is sent. You designate list moderators, who have limited
administrative privileges. They can’t change list options but they can approve or reject
subscription requests and postings.
When moderators enter their password in the list administration page, they get a page
with their own moderating tasks available.
You use the web interface to set mailing list moderation. Web services must be
enabled to access the web interface.
To enable list moderation:
1 In a web browser, enter the URL of the list administration page.
This is usually server.domain.tld/mailman/admin/listname.
2 Enter the master list password.
This is not the user’s login password. The master list password was set when mailing
lists were enabled on the server and was mailed to list administrators designated at
that time.
3 Make sure that General Options is selected from the Conguration Categories link section.
4 Enter the list moderator addresses you want to include in the “The list moderator mail
addresses” text box.
5 Click Submit Your Changes.
6 Select the Password Options in the Conguration Categories link section.
7 Enter a password in the moderator password eld and conrm it.
8 Click Submit Your Changes.
Setting Mailing List Message Bounce Options
When a list message bounces and returns to the list server, you can choose how the
list server handles the resulting bounce message.
You use the web interface to set the mailing list bounce options. Web services must be
enabled to access the web interface.
To set bounce options:
1 In a web browser, enter the URL of the list administration page.
This is usually server.domain.tld/mailman/admin/listname.
2 Enter the master list password.
This is not the user’s login password. The master list password was set when mailing
lists were enabled on the server and was mailed to list administrators designated at
that time.
