Abstract

Blank-delimited list of problem users who should not be allowed to post or subscribe to any list. This is similar to the "Filter=" list header keyword, but applies to all the lists. The FILTER_ALSO option is usually used to filter out problematic mail gateways, anonymous remailers (if anonymous postings are not desired), troublesome users, etc. Please refer to the list owner’s guide for more information.


Example

z/VM:

FILTER_ALSO = '*@BADNODE.COM OBNOXUSR@SOMEHOST.NET'

Unix:

FILTER_ALSO="*@BADNODE.COM OBNOXUSR@SOMEHOST.NET"

export FILTER_ALSO

Windows:

FILTER_ALSO=*@BADNODE.COM OBNOXUSR@SOMEHOST.NET


Details

Sometimes it may be necessary to deny a specific user (or a class of users) access to all the lists hosted by your server. This may be due to policies internal to your organization, technical problems, or simply to lock out an obnoxious user. FILTER_ALSO adds to the standard LISTSERV filter and denies access to all lists on the server.


Default Value

Not set; adds to LISTSERV's built-in filter.


Wildcards

Allowed.
