Web interface:

A web interface connection creates an easy way for people to subscribe, leave and change their settings. Members can also search, read and contribute from the web.

Fast text searching:

All archives may be indexed for fast searching. Search on a particular word used in a message; specify the location of the words in the message. (i.e. header), or exclude them altogether.

Confirmation:

An “are you sure you want to join” message can be sent to new subscribers to confirm their email address and ensure someone else did not subscribe to the list as a prank.

Compatible:

The system accepts common commands used by other list services: you do not have to relearn commands.

Protected membership:

Mailing lists may be configured so new members can be;

  • approved by an administrator or not
  • required to use a member password or not required
  • added to your list without approval or you can require approval
  • be added by the administrator or you can allow them to add themselves

Visitors:

At the administrator’s discretion, your mailing list can allow visitors to read and search the archives on the web but cannot contribute to the group. OR keep it private.

Multi-lingual:

Supports mailing lists in a number of languages.

Spam protection:

Number-moderating feature virtually eliminates spam. By requiring new members to have their first few messages approved (number set by you) you can keep spammers from joining your list.

Moderating:

Supports several moderating models. All members can be moderated, selected members can be moderated, and selected members can be un-moderated (while everyone else still is).

Web-based moderating:

You can approve or reject messages using the web interface. Different moderation setting includes:

  • Date Moderating: Can have moderated messages be automatically approved after a given time period
  • Email Based 
  • Number moderating: An option for new members to have their first few messages approved; thereafter they can contribute unmoderated
