Server Settings- IP Addresses

Machine/Node IP addresses

By default, Aurea List Manager listens for connections on all TCP/IP addresses on the machine it is running on.

If you would like to limit Aurea List Manager to only some of your TCP/IP addresses, you may specify them here. If you have changed the IP addresses for this Aurea List Manager node, add and delete them here.

When Aurea List Manager starts up, it checks your configured Tcl port (Default: 2021) for each of the TCP/IP addresses it listens to, to determine if another program is currently using that port and TCP/IP address combination. Two programs cannot both listen to the same TCP/IP address and port. If there is a conflict, Aurea List Manager informs you of the problem.

If Aurea List Manager is configured on the site or server level to use IP addresses that are not listed here, you are warned when saving this page.

One reason to use the Machine IP addresses feature is if you want to have Aurea List Manager coexist with a mail server also running on your machine. If your mail server can be made to only listen to a specific TCP/IP address, then you can have Aurea List Manager listen to the other address(es), and the two programs can coexist on your machine.

TCLPORT IP addresses

Specifies which address(es) Aurea List Manager uses for the Aurea List Manager web server (HTTP-LM). By default, Aurea List Manager only listens to the loopback address (127.0.0.1). You may specify that Aurea List Manager accept connections on other IP addresses here. If you need to have other servers be able to connect to Aurea List Manager for scripting, you need to specify the machine's IP address here.

By default, no TCLPORT IP addresses are selected. Be sure to select one or more IP addresses to connect to Aurea List Manager via TCLPORT from a remote server.

To select a TCLPORT IP address

1. Highlight the address in the TCLPORT IP addresses: window.
2. Click Save.
3. Aurea List Manager must be stopped and restarted to activate this change.

DNS IP Addresses

Specifies which address Aurea List Manager uses for UDP DNS lookups. By default, Aurea List Manager uses any IP address for DNS. If you must limit which IP address Aurea List Manager should use for DNS lookups, specify it here.

Global Ban Server IP Address

Aurea List Manager may download server-level member bans from a Aurea List Manager server that is being used as the central global ban server. This setting allows you to specify which local IP address Aurea List Manager should use to communicate with the global ban server. The setting that specifies the remote IP address of the global ban server this Aurea List Manager should connect to for global bans is Utilities: Administration: Server: Server Settings: Advanced: Global Bans.

Node Override HELO text

Normally, the HELO portion of an SMTP transaction is determined by one of the following:

• Aurea List Manager uses the Internet host name for a site; if it is unable to do so, it performs a reverse lookup on the first TCP/IP address of the machine it is running on.
• You can create a HELO string of your own choice on the Network Settings : Deliver Email page.

If you are clustering Aurea List Manager, either of the above results in all your nodes generating the same HELO text. To choose unique HELO text for a node, type the text you want in the Node Override HELO text box. As the name implies, this overrides the other HELO text settings in Aurea List Manager.

Example:

lists.example.com

Changing the HELO text is extremely useful if you are behind a firewall and machines on the Internet cannot resolve the hostname your machine uses.
