$$Access Leave$$

$$Access Who$$
$$anyone$$
$$member$$
$$moderator$$
$$Controls who can retrieve the list of current members, valid settings are anyone, member, moderator, or a wild card string that must match the username.$$
$$Subject Prefix$$
$$This string will be added to the front of every subject line of messages from this list, this makes it easy for people to sort list messages out from other messages.$$
$$Maximum Users$$
$$Maximum users allowed on this list.$$($$default$$ $$unlimited$$)
$$Reply to User$$
$$If set to true, the reply-to header in each message will be pointed to the original poster, rather than the mailing list, this is recommended for large mailing lists. In place of true you can specify an address as the reply address for ALL messages posted to the list. If given, posted messages will have any Reply-To: header turned into X-Reply-To:, and the address given is added to a new Reply-To: header.$$
$$To User$$
$$false$$
$$true$$
$$If true then the To: address in each message sent will be the users email address instead of the list name.$$
$$Auth Who$$
$$false$$
$$true$$
$$STRONGLY recommended for ALL lists. Only allow who requests from local authenticated users.$$
$$Allowed Moderator Ips$$
$$Valid ip addresses for the moderator to send posts from.$$
$$Auth Moderator$$
$$false$$
$$true$$
$$STRONGLY recommended for all lists where the moderator is a local user. Requires that the moderator uses smtp authentication to prove they are genuine.$$
$$Moderate via Web$$
$$false$$
$$true$$
$$Allows the moderator to moderate the posts to the list via this web interface.$$
$$Moderate first message$$
$$false$$
$$true$$
$$If 'true' then new users messages go to the moderator until one is approved. This allows a list without moderation but prevents spammers joining and sending spam immediately.$$
$$Notify on join/leave$$
$$false$$
$$true$$
$$If 'true' then send the moderator an email for each join/leave event.$$
$$Authenticated Only$$
$$false$$
$$true$$
$$Only smtp authenticated local users can post to this list$$
$$Max Size$$
$$Limits the maximum size of an item that can go through the mailing list in kbytes. NB: this setting applies to messages to the -request address as well as the posting address.$$
$$Max Per User$$
$$Sets the max number of messages allowed to be posted to all lists on the server per user per hour. Note that the count is per user for posts to ALL lists, whereas the setting is per list. So the count is global but whether it applies to a list is list specific.$$
$$Status Interval$$
$$Period in days between automatic status reports being sent to the moderator.$$
$$Send Delay$$
$$Delay in milliseconds between sending messages.$$
$$Archive$$
$$false$$
$$true$$
$$If set, all incoming messages will be recorded in an 'archive' sub directory, off the dlist directory.$$
$$Web Archive$$

web interface (requires Archive true)
$$
$$Web Hide Email$$
$$false$$
$$true$$
$$If set, hides the email addresses of posters to prevent address harvesting by spammers.$$
$$Join Cookie$$
$$false$$
$$true$$
$$If set, when users join the list they will be asked to respond with a specific cookie (number) to prove they are real humans, this setting prevents people from subscribing other people or worse other lists to an existing list. Note: a cookie will not be sent if the subscriber is a moderator or if access_join for the list is set to moderator or password.$$
$$Join Cookie Template$$
$$false$$
$$true$$
$$Format the 'Join Cookie' message using the template file 'cookie.tpl' in the list directory.$$
$$Join Cookie Subject$$
$$false$$
$$true$$
$$If 'true' posts the cookie in the subject and a sinply reply is sufficient to join.$$
||ifequal||list_posters_mode||text||

$$Obscure settings$$
($$should not commonly be modified$$)
$$Bounce Remove$$
$$false$$
$$true$$
$$If set, then DList will log all bounces that it receives, and if it can work out that the bounce was because of a permanent error, then it will remove that address from the mailing list. DList will also send a summary email to the moderator each day recording any addresses it has removed from the list and the bounce error that was the reason for the removal. This is a new 'beta' setting so let us know how it goes if you try it. You might like to try, the log_bounce setting as a first step to turning on this setting.$$
$$Log Bounce$$
$$false$$
$$true$$
$$This is a debugging setting, that may be more generally useful. It causes dlist to log all addresses that bounce and the reason for the bounce to the file, bounces.log, in the list home directory. The log is appended to for every bounce received when sending any messages to the list. See also 'bounce_remove'.$$
$$No Processed Message$$
$$false$$
$$true$$
$$This setting is very powerful. If set to 'true' for a particular list, no command processed messages are sent by DList for that list. This means that users will only see list posts; they will get no response to any DList commands they send (i.e. who, lists etc.). This would only really be useful if you wanted to subscribe users to a list without them receiving notices.$$
$$No Welcome Message$$
$$false$$
$$true$$
$$By default, DList sends a welcome message to each user directly after that user successfully subscribes to a list. If set to 'true' for a particular list, then users subscribing to that list will not be sent a welcome message.$$
$$Skip Mailer Check$$
$$false$$
$$true$$
$$If set to true, DList will not ignore messages from users called, MAILER-DAEMON (all in capitals). These are normally bouced messages and so would not normally be wanted as posts to the list.$$
$$Skip Postmaster Check$$
$$false$$
$$true$$
$$If set to true, DList will not ignore messages from users called, POSTMASTER (all in capitals). These are normally bouced messages and so would not normally be wanted as posts to the list.$$
$$Language File$$
$$The full path to a file, used to specify a language file for the list. That language file is used to translate most of the phrases generated by DList for the list.$$
$$Strip Headers$$
$$List of headers to strip from messages.$$
$$Post Members Only$$
$$false$$
$$true$$
$$Only allow posts to the moderator from members of the list.$$
$$Moderator Instructions Hide$$
$$false$$
$$true$$
$$Remove moderator instructions in posts sent to moderators.$$
$$Hide Sender$$
$$false$$
$$true$$
$$Try and remove any identification (from, sender, etc from the message.$$
$$Text Digest$$
$$false$$
