New subscriber requirements
These settings is used to control how people join the list using the Discussion forum interface.
The table below explains the fields available on the New subscriber requirements page:

Restrict Member Options |
This setting determines whether your members are allowed to set various membership options, such as whether or not they like to receive the messages in digest form. By default, lists created as email marketing or announcement lists are set to be restricted, and discussion lists are not. On an email marketing or announcement list, these member options often do not apply. For example, if you are sending out one announcement per week, it does not make sense for members to be able to set their membership to receive a daily digest. In such a case, you may want to disable the member's ability to set their own options. The options are not going to appear again in the Aurea List Manager discussion forum interface for joining and your settings, and email commands to set them are rejected. |

When a member joins using the Aurea List Manager discussion forum interface, Aurea List Manager can ask the person for

If you want to always have member names, you should also set your mailing list to not allow joining by email, so that people must use the Aurea List Manager web interface to join. For more information, see Security If the name field is blank on a web subscription, but reply to a confirmation message, Aurea List Manager automatically uses the name in the From: field (if available), or from an email posting to the list. This does not overwrite any preexisting names. |

Require Password |
When a member joins using the Aurea List Manager discussion forum interface, Aurea List Manager can ask the person to pick a personal password. A personal password is useful for mailing lists where security is important. If no password is defined for a user, then other people can enter the discussion forum interface as that person by typing in their email address. Requiring each user to have a personal password adds considerable security to your mailing list This option allows you to require a password, to make the password optional or to not ask for a password at all. By default, this option is set to If you allow joining by email and you set Require Password to |
