The "Sending/receiving" tab on the List Administrator under “Edit List Config” lets you define the permissions for sending messages to the list.

We recommend restricting who can send messages to subscribers, owners, or moderators depending on the use case for your list. 

We do not recommend the "public" option since this will make your list available to anyone, including spammers.

If you have a question about a certain “Sending/receiving” setting, please contact the IT Help Desk.
