Moderated Lists

The characteristics of a moderated list are:

• The moderator can post by addressing mail in the form of listname@domain.com.
• Only the moderator (list owner) can post a message to the list if Use Password and Enable Posters List are cleared.
• If Use Password is selected, the moderator must use a password in order to post to the list. This prevents others from "impersonating" the moderator by using the moderator’s mailing address.
• If Enable Posters' List is selected, users in the posters' list can post directly to the list and the moderator does not receive their mail. The moderator receives mail only from the addresses that are not in the posters' list.
• If both Use Password and Enable Posters' List are selected, the moderator receives mail only from those not in the posters' list and the moderator must enter a password in order to post to the list.
