List configuration parameters
Listowners can set a large number of parameters to set up their list. These parameters can be grouped into seven main categories. These are:
- List definition
- Parameters that describe the list - its description, who the owners/moderators are, it's visibility...
- Sending/reception
- Who can send/receive messages (eg. members only, anyone, is list moderated?), frequency of digests, default settings for new users....
- Privileges
- Access restrictions on the list (eg. who can subscribe/unsubscribe, review themembership, invite others to join, access shared files/documents)...
- Archives
- Parameters that describe the list archives (eg. are archives allowed?, who can access them? weekly or monthly archives?)
- Bounces
- Parameters that allow the listowner to set threshold values associated with the bounce management functions within Sympa
- Data sources
- Controls where the membership of the list is sourced from. (eg. an external database, another list). This is where you would define any sub-lists of a superlist.
- Miscellaneous
- Anything else.
