Email list address handlers

When you have configured a domain rule on the Domains tab, you can define settings for any email list address for that domain. This is done by creating an email list address handler for each particular email list address you want to create. This includes the name of the list, its owner, members, and list rules (such as who can post and reply to the list).

Each email list address handler also allows you to set extra restrictions for mail to that email list address. This includes setting whether file attachments are allowed in emails sent to that list address by members, and setting the size limit for any emails destined for that list address.

To create an email list address handler:

1. Open the WinGate Management console.
2. Navigate to Monitoring > Email.
3. On the Domains tab, create a new domain rule, or select an existing one.
4. With the domain rule highlighted, select New Email List Address Handler from the Tasks menu in the Navigation Panel. Alternatively, right click on the domain rule on the Domains tab and select New Email List Address Handler from the context menu. This will open the Edit email list address handler configuration.

        This setting means that a reply to a post that has been sent to a mail list, will be sent back to the person who made the original post.

     3. Back to the list owner

        All replies made to posts on this mailing list will be sent back to the List owner.
