Using List Settings
Aurea List Manager uses the List Settings to fine tune the settings for all your lists.
The List settings is divided in nine sections explained below:.
Basic Information
New Subscriber Policy
This controls how people can join your list. You can perform the actions below:
- Specify whether new subscribers must confirm their memberships by responding to a confirmation message, or confirm when they unsubscribe.
- Determine how secure your list is, for example, is anyone allowed to join? Do they require a password, or is it private? Can members only be added by an administrator? Can people subscribe by email, or only through the Aurea List Manager web interface?
- Specify who can or cannot join your list.
Email Submitted Content
This controls what your mailings look like when sent via email to the list. These settings are not in effect when sending through the Aurea List Manager administration web interface in most cases .You can perform the actions below:
- Specify what text wrapping should come at the beginning and end of every message sent via email to the list.
- Determine what security should be in place for email posting. Specify whether messages can be sent via email, and who can send to the list.

- Specify what additions and revisions to the header should be made, such as the default From:, To: and Reply To: headers.
Web Created Content
This controls the default settings for content and mailings created through the Aurea List Manager administrator's web interface.
