Stop trivial replies to your List.

Sometimes, people like to post short messages saying Thanks or Excellent Idea. While they may have meant to send that message to an individual, they end up sending it to the entire List. That can be very annoying to most Subscribers.  

Mail-list.com has an option to look for such posts, then ask the sender for approval. If they did intend to send to the entire List, they can approve it for release.

Use the Web Interface to Change Settings

When a Subscriber sends a trivial message, they will receive an email asking for approval.

  • If they do not respond, the message will be deleted.
