Assistance needed to modify configuration to restrict senders / LISTSERV

Problem

  • How do I modify my LISTSERV list configuration to restrict senders?
  • I want to block messages sent by non-Miami users
  • I want to limit senders on my list to Miami users only
  • I want to limit senders on my list to users with a Miami email address (@miamioh.edu or @muohio.edu)
  • How do I modify my LISTSERV list configuration?

Resolution 

  • The keyword Filter can be added to a LISTSERV list header and edited to specify how filtered address patterns should be applied, as follows:
    • Also – If you want the addresses or patterns entered to be in addition to the default filters set up for the whole server (recommended)
    • Only – If you want to replace the default filters
    • Safe – If you want to use the safe filter
  1. Go to Miami's LISTSERV portal
  2. Log in using your email address and Listserv password
  3. Select the list from your Dashboard
  4. Select List Configuration
  5. Click the Edit Manually button
  6. In the list header, look for the following keyword and text: Filter= Safe
  7. Change the text to Filter= Also,*@miamioh.edu,*@muohio.edu
  8. Click Save
    • Ignore the English template error — the new configuration setting will still be saved
