Section 6 What’s New in the LISTSERV Maestro 3.3-7 Administration HUB

Version 3.3-7 of LISTSERV Maestro contains several new features in the Administration HUB. This section gives you detailed information about the following new features:

•	The administrator can now allow recipients and targets groups be defined using recipients from a LDAP directory. For details, see Section 6.1 Enabling LDAP Support.

•	The administrator can now limit the number of email jobs a specific group/user can send per month. For details, see Section 6.2 Establishing Email Job Limits.

6.1 Enabling LDAP Support

Important: Before starting, LDAP needs to be enabled in LISTSERV. See the LISTSERV documentation for details.

To coordinate with the new LDAP support feature in the LISTSERV Maestro User Interface (see Section 5.2 Defining Recipients using LDAP and 5.3 Creating Target Groups using LDAP for details), there is now a new option on the Recipients Restrictions screen (see Figure 6-1). This option, Let LISTSERV Select Recipients from a Database or LDAP Directory, can be defined for the entire User Interface or for a particular account/group gives the user(s) the ability to define recipients from a database or LDAP directory.

6.2 Establishing Email Job Limits

The administrator can now limit the number of email jobs a group or user sends per day and/or month. This limit is used to prevent excessive limits for those wishing to control the amount of email being sent (e.g. for server limitation reasons or for license limitations).

Limiting the number email jobs sent can only be defined for the following recipient types:

•	Upload a Recipients Text File (Limits can be defined for both Recipients and Target Groups.)

•	Select Recipients from a Database (Limits can be defined for both Recipients and Target Groups.)

•	Determine Recipients Based on Reaction on Another Job (Limits can only be defined for Recipients.)

•	Sent to a Hosted Recipient List (Limits can only be defined for Target Groups; in addition, they are automatically enabled if a HRL already exists.)

Note: Recipient types that are controlled by LISTSERV (Send to an Existing LISTSERV List and Let LISTSERV Select from a Database or LDAP Directory) cannot have email limitations applied to them.

To define email limitations, go to the Recipients Restrictions screen, click the Enable option next to any of the permissible recipient types (see list above). Next, in the Mail Limits fields, enter the per day and per month limits.
