DIST_ALLOWED_USERS

This configuration variable defines a space-separated list of non-postmaster users who are allowed to use Distribute.

DIST_ALLOWED_USERS=joe@unix.host.com alma@univ.edu

A security validation feature exists to prevent the Distribute command from use by spammers. Only a user defined in POSTMASTER or in DIST_ALLOWED_USERS may issue the Distribute command, and the Distribute command must be validated with that user's personal LISTSERV password.

The default value is 0 (disabled).
