Abstract

A space-separated list of Internet addresses from which LISTSERV should never accept administrative mail.

Example

VM: TRAPIN = 'OBNOX@SOMENODE.NET *@BADNODE.COM'

VMS: TRAPIN "OBNOX@SOMENODE.NET *@BADNODE.COM"

unix: TRAPIN="OBNOX@SOMENODE.NET *@BADNODE.COM"

Win: TRAPIN=OBNOX@SOMENODE.NET *@BADNODE.COM

Details

A space-separated list of Internet addresses from which LISTSERV should never accept mail. Mail and files from users matching these templates will not be processed, but rather simply transferred to the LISTSERV maintainer. This parameter is provided primarily for VM sites, but is available for the convenience of VM customers migrating to other platforms and should not need to be set by typical non-VM installations.

Note: L-Soft does not recommend using this keyword to filter out problem users, as it does not prevent people at the hosts in question from posting to mailing lists. It controls only how incoming administrative mail (e.g., containing LISTSERV commands) sent to the LISTSERV address is treated. You should use the FILTER_ALSO keyword to filter problem users.

Default Value

Built in.

Wildcards

Allowed.
