22.1  User Classification

Users of mailing lists may have the following roles:

Administrator

User with Kerio MailServer administration rights (read/write access — see chapter 8.1  Administrator account). Kerio Administration Console administrators create all mailing lists and define their parameters (e.g. moderators, policies, etc.). For details, see chapter 22.2  Creating a Mailing List).

Moderator

Each mailing list should have at least one moderator. Moderators are allowed to take the following actions:

  • confirm or refuse a user login (if required by the mailing list policy),

  • allow or deny postings to the mailing list (if required by the mailing list policy),

  • receive error reports (e.g. reports about emails that could not be delivered),

  • can be addressed by

    <mailinglist_name>-owners@<domain>

Member

Any user subscribed to the mailing list is a member. Their email addresses may belong to any domain — mailing lists are not limited only to the domain where they were created. Mailing list members have the following rights:

  • subscribe/unsubscribe (if the member is subscribed, he/she receives all messages sent to the mailing list address)

  • ask for help

  • send messages to the mailing list (if required by the mailing list policy, each message sent to the mailing list must be approved by a moderator)

Note: Each user may have more than one role (e.g. a moderator can be a member as well, etc.)
