# LDAP: Add a mail list account

## Add mail list with iRedAdmin-Pro

With iRedAdmin-Pro, you can easily add mail list account by click menu:
`Add -> Mail List` in main navigation bar.

## Add mail list with phpLDAPadmin

* Login to phpLDAPadmin (httpS://[your_server]/phpldapadmin/)
* Expand LDAP tree in left panel, find `ou=Groups` under your domain dn.
* Click `ou=Groups` in left panel, then click `Create a child entry` in right
  panel.
* Choose `mailList` in `ObjectClasses` list, then click `Proceed`.
* Select `mail` as RDN, fill necessary values of attributes:

```
dn: mail=demolist@mydomain.com,ou=Groups,domainName=mydomain.com,o=domains,dc=iredmail,dc=org
accountStatus: active
cn: demolist
enabledService: mail
enabledService: deliver
enabledService: displayedInGlobalAddressBook
mail: demolist@mydomain.com
objectClass: mailList
```

Now switch to `ou=Users` under you domain LDAP dn in left panel.

* Expand `ou=Users` in left panel.
* Find user account which you want to assign to new mail list we created above.
* Click user account in left panel.
* If attribute `memberOfGroup` exists in right panel:
	* click `Add value` under it and fill mail address of our new mail list. For example: `demolist@mydomain.com`
	* Click `Update Object` to save settings.
* If attribute `memberOfGroup` doesn't exist in right panel:
	* Click `Add new attribute` in right panel
	* Choose `memberOfGroup` in drop-down list.
	* Fill mail address of our new mail list.
	* Click `Update Object` to save settings.

You can add as many `memberOfGroup=xxx` as you want, which means this user is assigned to many mail lists.

Here's sample to add external users as mail list members:

```
dn: memberOfGroup=demolist@mydomain.com,ou=Externals,domainName=mydomain.com,o=domains,dc=iredmail,dc=org
accountstatus: active
enabledservice: mail
enabledservice: deliver
mail: user01@external.com
mail: user02@external.com
memberofgroup: demolist@mydomain.com
objectclass: mailExternalUser
```

__IMPORTANT NOTE__: If you don't have any mail list member, Postfix will report error like below:

```
Aug  1 15:45:42 mail postfix/smtpd[6024]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[1.1.1.1]: 550 5.1.1
<it@domain1.ru>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table; from=<test@domain1.ru>
 to=<it@domain1.ru> proto=ESMTP helo=<[2.2.2.2]>
```

## Mail list access policies

You can restrict who can send email to this mailing list by adding LDAP attribute `accessPolicy`. For example:

```
dn: mail=demolist@mydomain.com,ou=Groups,domainName=mydomain.com,o=domains,dc=iredmail,dc=org
accesspolicy: domain
...
```

This access restriction is implemented in iRedAPD (a simple Postfix policy
server), iRedMail has it enabled by default.

Available access policies are:

* `public`: no restrictions.
* `domain`: all users under same domain are allowed to send email to this mail list.
* `subdomain`: all users under same domain and sub-domains are allowed to send email to this mail list.
* `membersOnly`: only members of this mail list are allowd.
* `moderatorsOnly`: only moderators of this mail list are allowed.
* `memebersAndModeratorsOnly`: only members and moderators of this mail list are allowed.
