Topic: Ezmlm-web configuration

[Riccardo]

Could someone help me with Ezmlm-web, please?
 
I installed it on SME 5.5 and works very well but I don't understand how to configure a particular mailing list so that only the owner or moderator could send email to all the subscribers.
 
Thanks in advance!

Just guessing here.... but from the config panel in the ezmlm-web, Check the box "Others Rejected".

Hold your mouse over the little question mark at the end, and it says something like "Posts from addresses other than moderators are rejected".

Hope that helps.

Riccardo,

I believe the combination of "Message Moderation" and "Subscriber List" should do what you want. Have a try with those.

Message moderation is what you are after, but read below.
An extract from a new HOWTO for ezmlm yet to be posted.

Common Usage/Configuration Mis-interpretations

The "Others rejected" and "User posts only" switches should be used separately (not together) as they effectively counteract each other, unless of course you want "subscribers not moderated" behaviour for your list.

The message moderation only works for posts from subscribers when these two switches (Others rejected; User posts only) are not checked, or for non-subscriber posts, if one or both the other switches are checked.
 
Also you may not want to use the "User post only" switch with the "Message moderation" switch. Doing so allows subscribers and "allow" people to post without moderation.

Users are encouraged to carefully read the manual and test the behaviour of their list to ensure it does what you require.

I've tried all the suggested configurations but the only that seems to work for my goal is to add all the subscribers and then add the same to the DENY LIST.

It not seem very beautifull but ...no other chance!

PS for Ray Mitchell:
could you send me the HowTo?

You might also checkout mailman.  It is very easy to set up this type of list.

Riccardo,

Try this

If you want to configure your list to reject all others, even subscribers (that are not listed as moderators), Use the switches: "Others rejected" & "Message moderation" at the same time. It works but moderators now have to moderate their own messages, that's the only thing not very nice about this combination of switches.
