Alias moderator * and alias username moderator list alias options

Alias options:,  ,   ,
The  alias options  are used to establish a  moderated mailing list. All postings to the list not originating from a moderator are sent to the list&#x27;s moderator. The address of the moderator must be specified with the    alias option. The moderator address determines where moderator mail is sent when someone other than  the moderator posts. The value of that named parameter is the moderator&#x27;s address. For example, msconfig&#x3e; show alias:test-list@domain\.com instance.alias:test-list@domain\.com.alias_entry = &#x3c;IMTA_TABLE:test.dis instance.alias:test-list@domain\.com.alias_moderator_address = bob@domain.com When there may be multiple moderator addresses (for instance, both robert@mail1.domain.com and bob@domain.com), use  ,   , or    to specify all addresses  from which postings should be passed directly to the list and not sent  to the list&#x27;s moderator.

specifies either the name of a file containing a list of moderator addresses, or an LDAP URL returning  a list of moderator addresses.

specifies as its argument a URL that "makes sense": either the name of a file containing a list of (possibly wildcarded) moderator  usernames, or an LDAP URL returning a list of (possibly wildcarded)  moderator usernames; note that usernames are generally only useful for  messages submitted from the L channel  or submitted with SASL  authentication via SMTP (SMTP AUTH) since for messages submitted from  other sources the username will simply be that of the account under  which the submitting MTA process is running. Note that for messages submitted via SMTP with authentication (SMTP AUTH), the username that  authenticated will be prefixed with the asterisk, ,  character. For instance, to specify that only the user JDOE is the list moderator, whether submitting from the L channel or via SMTP  (e.g., from a POP or IMAP client that performs SASL SMTP  authentication), the    file would need to contain  the entries: JDOE $&#x2a;JDOE where the first entry would match for messages submitted from the L channel and the second entry would match for messages submitted via  SMTP AUTH. Note that as asterisk is normally a wildcard character, matching of only the exact literal asterisk character is specified by  using the dollar character to quote the asterisk.

specifies the name of a mapping table used to verify  whether or not an address is a moderator address.

See also the  and    alias options, which operate similarly but require that an authenticated address be present in the attempted posting.

If an ,  ,  , or   alias option is used, thereby  specifying who may post directly to the list, then an    alias option  should also be present to specify the address to which to  send postings not from any moderator.

The use of the   alias option alone, without the    alias option, is equivalent to using    and  an    consisting of just the one moderator address.

Legacy configuration has analogous named parameters ,  ,  , and  , as well as named parameters   and.

For lists defined in LDAP, the configuration of moderation is structured somewhat differently; see the LDAP attributes named by the,  , and   MTA options.
