TRAPOUT

This configuration variable defines a space-separated list of addresses to which LISTSERV should never send mail. Mail and files to users matching these templates will be sent to the postmaster instead. This parameter is provided primarily for VM sites but is available for the convenience of VM customers migrating to other platforms and should not need to be set by typical non-VM installations.

TRAPOUT= OBNOX@SOMENODE.NET *@BADNODE.COM

Note: L-Soft does not recommend using this keyword to filter out problem users as it does not prevent people at the hosts in question from posting to mailing lists. It controls only how outgoing administrative mail (e.g., containing responses to LISTSERV commands) sent to the LISTSERV address is treated. You should use the FILTER_ALSO keyword to filter problem users. If you wish to stop outgoing list mail to specific domains, you should simply do a global delete (QUIET DELETE * *@*badnode.com) and then add the domain to FILTER_ALSO to prevent future subscriptions from that domain.
