Abstract

Blank-delimited list of addresses or wildcards which will be exempted from LISTSERV's standard loop-detection filter.


Example

z/VM:

FILTER_ALLOW = '*@GOODNODE.COM POSTMASTER@SOMEHOST.NET'

Unix:

FILTER_ALLOW="*@GOODNODE.COM POSTMASTER@SOMEHOST.NET"

export FILTER_ALLOW

Windows:

FILTER_ALLOW=*@GOODNODE.COM POSTMASTER@SOMEHOST.NET


Details

This variable determines what, if any, exemptions are made to the standard set of addresses normally bounced by LISTSERV as part of its loop-checking heuristic. For instances, if you want to allow POSTMASTER@SOMEHOST.NET to post to lists like a normal user, you can add that value to this variable. Or if you should decide that any postmaster account anywhere should be allowed to post to lists, you can add the value POSTMASTER@* (but please note that L-Soft does not recommend this). FILTER_ALLOW works in conjunction with enhancements to the Filter= list header keyword; for more information on this interaction please see the entry for Filter= in the List Header Keyword Reference.


Default Value

Not set; adds to LISTSERV's built-in filter.


Wildcards

Allowed.
