Monitoring and Controlling Content of your Mailing List

Note

Email Hosting Orders activated on or after 2 July, 2009, will have a separate Email management and Webmail interface. 1

In order to ensure that the content of the mails being sent to a list are not offensive to members, it is a good idea to employ moderators for the Mailing List who monitor the content of mails. 2

In addition to this you also need to specify your Message Moderation Preferences, which would govern all access to your Mailing List. You can specify:

  • Who can post messages to this list?

    • Only allow moderators to send messages (all messages by others could either be rejected, or sent to the moderators)

    • Only allow members of the list to send messages (all messages by non-members could either be rejected, or sent to the moderators)

    • Allow everyone (all messages could first be sent to the moderators)

  • Who should receive any replies sent to a message on the Mailing List?

    • The original sender

    • The entire list

    • A specific email address

    Note

    Messages sent by the moderator(s) will also be sent for moderation. This feature has been built in 3CEE Limited's Mail Servers, so as to prevent spamming by spoofing the moderator's email address.

Message Moderation Preferences can be specified at the time of creation of the Mailing list itself. If you wish to modify these at a later time, follow the process below:

  1. Login to the Email management interface. 3
