Etiquette
These rules are using to manage the rules applied to the mailing list.
The table below explains the fields available:
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
|
Max Quoting Allowed |
This option limits the number of continuously quoted lines in a message. The default, 0, allows unlimited
quoting. Quoted lines are identified as beginning with the Note This applies to continuous quoted lines, not to the total amount of quoted lines in the message. Messages that use a different quoting character (such as :) are not rejected if they exceed the Max Quoting Allowed. |

Daily Message Limit |
This defines the total number of messages that can be distributed to the mailing list in one day This feature is generally used as a last resort to prevent mail loops from going out of control. A mail loop occurs when mail sent to the mailing list members encounters a badly configured email server, and the email server sends a message back to the mailing list Aurea List Manager has many features to prevent mail loops from happening, so the Daily Message Limit in practice, is never going to become an issue. However, if, for some reason, a message loop were to occur, the Daily Message Limit shuts off the mail loop after a certain limit Note Aurea List Manager automatically blocks duplicate posts for discussion lists, and unless this feature is explicitly disabled, it is very effective at stopping mail loops before they occur. |

Message Size Limit |
This defines the maximum size of messages that may be contributed to the mailing lists. Any contributed message over this size is automatically rejected. Sometimes mailing list members try to send a large attachment to a mailing list (such as a sound file), and most mailing list members do not want to receive this size of a file from the mailing list. This feature blocks excessively large messages from being sent. List administrators are not restricted by this message size limit—their messages can be of any size. |
| Max Posts Per Member |
This setting places a limit on the number of posts that a single member is allowed to send to this mailing
list in a one-day period. If the member goes over this limit, they are rejected and notified that
they need to wait until the next day. By default, this setting is This feature is useful if someone is dominating the list, or is clogging it up with |
