Send Admin Message

It is possible for administrator users to send a bulk email message to an entire group or list.

To begin composing an email, go to the Administration Settings → Users page, and click Send Admin Message.

This should then open a window, which allows you to specify various options.

  • Target Group/List: The message will be sent to all local users who are members of the selected group or list.
  • Save message for future use: If ticked, the message will remain available, so that it may be edited, and then sent again. Otherwise, the most recently saved message will remain available.
  • Message Subject
  • Message Text: The plaintext message body. HTML messages are not currently supported.

Keywords

Keywords can be placed into the message content, which will provide an individual value for each recipient (e.g. {username} will ensure each user's message contains their own username).

  • {username}
  • {ldap_###} - the LDAP attribute represented by ###; e.g. {ldap_o}.
  • {messagecount} - the number of messages in the recipient's inbox, at the time the message is sent.
  • {mailboxsize} - the total size of all messages in the recipient's mailbox.
  • {mailboxquota} - the total number of megabytes allocated for the recipient's mailbox quota. Note: this value will be 0, where no quota has been set.
  • {lua}…{/lua} - will execute an embedded Lua script.
