Re: Creating an alias


Mike Cohen
 

Shal,
Hard for me to express how much I appreciate your detailed responses.? Simply put...Thank You !!
The two names in the screenshot are myself (Owner) and the person who will take over if I get hit by a bus.? The default is to have the first message moderated.? I override that for most members.? Fortunately, we have never had an unwanted posting.
Not my first choice, but I will encourage the dozen or so members who use Winlink and cannot add a Winlink alias to add a subscription, like I did.
Thanks again.
Mike

Mike,


Any suggestions for how others could be searched and deleted?

You cannot.

An account is not a subscription. What you can find in your Members list are subscriptions, but those same email addresses may have subscriptions in any number of other groups. Or no groups. Which is how there may be Winlink addresses which are registered (have accounts) but do not appear in your group's Members list.

Only the account owner can delete the account.

I see from your screenshot that those two addresses are not listed as NC, meaning that they are confirmed, meaning that the holder of that address can receive messages sent to that address (unless you used Direct Add to put them there, or unless you manually confirmed the address, both of which are Premium features).

Being able to receive messages at that address is a good thing: it means that the member can use the Email me a link to log in button to log in for one last time to delete the account, even if he/she never set a password for the account.

By the way, I also see that they have the P badge, meaning that their subscription Posting Privilege is set to Override: not moderated. I generally recommend against using that setting for most members. If it is your intent to have most members in your group un-moderated it is better to choose the Default Group policy privilege for most members and uncheck Moderated in the Spam Control section of your group's Settings page. That way you can quench a flame war or other disturbance in the group at need by simply checking the Moderated box, and then unchecking it again after things quiet down. Since you are forced to choose at least one in the Spam Control section, check New Users Moderated instead.
