Administrator Email Commands
Aurea List Manager has a number of commands specific to administrators to allow adding or unsubscribing members, moderating messages, and retrieving list information.
The administrator must write to the listmanager@ server address using a list, site or server administrator
email address, and use the login command to provide the admin password.
If you are using a script to subscribe members using admin email commands, you may need to putin a loop exception for the admin email address. You may also want to use the end quiet command so notification about the command is not returned.
Login
All administrator email commands require the admin password to be provided in a login command in the first line to authenticate the sender as an admin with the rights to use the administrator commands.
Syntax: login password
Aurea List Manager uses the email address from which the message is sent from, to identify the sender as a Server, Site or List Administrator, and then check the password provided in the login command. If the password you specified with the login command is correct, it proceeds to process the commands in the message. If it is not, processing of your message stops.
When Aurea List Manager detects a login command, it replaces the password with an XXX in the archived copy it
keeps, and in the acknowledgement message that is sent back to you. The reason for this is so that other
people looking at your email message, either in your mailbox, or in the incoming mail web page, is not
able to determine your password.
However, including a password in an email message is inherently insecure. If you are concerned about password security, do not use email commands that require a login command.
End [quiet]
Like non-administrative members, administrators may also use the end command to indicate that Aurea List Manager should stop processing any additional text in the message.
end quiet
The quiet modifier is optional.
When the command interpreter encounters the end command, it stops processing the message immediately.
Thus, if you use end, you must be certain to have all of your commands above it. If you use the
quiet modifier, you do not receive notification from Aurea List Manager regarding that command message.
