LISTSERV Tech Tip
Q:
How can I make LISTSERV treat replies differently from original messages?
By Jacob Haller
Senior Support Engineer, L-Soft

We occasionally get inquiries from list owners who would like their mailing lists to treat replies differently from original messages. For instance, they want people to be able to post original messages without moderation, while having reply posts moderated – or the other way around. This tech tip explores how you can use the content filter to make this distinction thanks to some common characteristics that replies usually share.

In their most basic form, such profile fields are displayed as simple text fields into which the subscribers type their information. This tech tip explores how you can instead use selection fields and lookup tables for more precise targeting and better results.
