List Digest Settings
How to get hereTo set up a list-server mail digest, first enable digest mode, then set the digest options.
- Domain Name (Official Host Name or OHN ). The current domain name used for the list server.
- List Name. The name of the digest list.
- Enable Digest Settings. Select this option to allow users to group the messages sent to this list into a digest.
- Digest Mailbox. Enter the location where list postings are stored before the digest mailing is sent out. A copy of all postings will be sent to list_administrator-mailboxname@yourhost.com. This mailbox has the following characteristics:
- After a posting is sent to the digest list, the Digest Mailbox is emptied and a copy is made in the format: digestmailboxMMDD.mbx where digestmailbox is the name of the Digest Mailbox, MM is the month, and DD is the day of the posting.
- The list administrator can view the mailbox from the Web Messaging client and can delete or add messages before the posting is sent. The list administrator can also view posted digests by the MMDD format described in the previous paragraph.
- Subject Line for Digest Postings. Enter the text that you want to appear in the digest posting subject line.
- Include Headers and Trailers When Posting to Digest Mailbox. Select this option to have the posted digest messages include the header and or trailer messages. We recommend turning off this option because it will make the digest larger and the digest includes its own header and trailer.
- Strip Non-Text Attachments before Posting. Select this option to strip non-text attachments, such as graphic files, from messages when the digest posting is sent.
- Save. Click to save your changes.
