Following is how to
create a mailing list for announcement purposes only, so that
subscribers to the list cannot post to it but only receive email
from it.
A combination of Moderation and Privacy settings
are used to lock the list down.
> In General Options, scroll down to the bottom of the General
list personality section and set the Hide
the sender of a message,
replacing it with the list address option to Yes.
> In the Reply-To: header munging section, set the Where
are replies to list messages directed? option to This
list.
> Scroll down and click the Submit Your
Changes button.
From the Configuration Categories list at the top, click on
Privacy Option. The Subscription rules options will display below.
> In the Advertise this list when people ask what lists are on
this machine? choose No.
> In the What steps are required for subscription? section, choose
Require approval.
> Set the Who can view subscription list? option to List
admin only.
> Click the Submit Your Changes button.
From the Configuration Categories list at the top, click on
Privacy Option.
> Click on Sender filters.
> In the By default, should new list member postings be moderated?
section, choose Yes.
> Change the Action to take when a moderated member posts to
the list option to Discard.
> Scroll down and set the Action to take for postings from non-members
for which no explicit action is defined to Discard.
> Set the Should messages from nonmembers, which are automatically
discarded, be forwarded to the list moderator? to No.
> Click the Submit Your Changes button.
You'll need to turn off
Moderation for anyone who will be generating email announcements for the list, as well as make sure Moderation
is turned on for everyone else:
> First, set any existing
subscribers (if there
are any) so they're moderated:
> From the Configuration Categories list at the top, click
on Membership Management. Your current list of subscribers will
be displayed.
> At the bottom of the page, in the Additional Member Tasks,
set the Set everyone's moderation bit, including those members
not currently visible option to On.
> Click the Set button.
> Scroll down the list of subscribers and uncheck
the box in the Mod (first) column for anyone
who will be sending announcements to the list.
(If they're not already subscribers, add them)
> Click the Submit Your Changes button.
That's It! Your list is now setup so:
>> The
sender of announcements is hidden.
>> Replies go to the
list (and are later discarded.)
>> Your list is not displayed on https://www.lists.pdx.edu.
>> People cannot subscribe themselves automatically.
>> Only list Admins can view the subscriber list.
>> All non-subscriber postings are discarded.
>> All subscribers, present or future, are moderated EXCEPT
for the subscribers sending announcements.
>> All moderated mail is discarded.
