The server provides quick access to a number of tools for managing subscribers. These include:
Pending subscriptions – the queue for subscription requests.
Pending unsubscriptions – The queue for unsubscribe requests when unsubscribe is restricted by the owner. See Admin > Privileges – Who can unsubscribe for the permission setting.
Blocklist – the list of email addresses whose email is automatically discarded. e.g. rogue sender on the mail list.
Moderated Senders – a list of email addresses who are required to be moderated even if the ‘Who can send messages’ setting is set to subscribers, public, etc. See Admin > Sending/receiving setup – Who can send messages setting for the mail list permission. e.g. rant sender to the list.
Allow Senders – senders that will automatically get posted to the list no matter the ‘Who can send messages’ setting. e.g. Prof or TA sending email to student lists.
Bounces – the list of subscriber emails that are bouncing.
Dump – generates a list of email address for all subscribers on the list.
Dump with names – same as dump but also contains any gecos data if available. Gecos data is optional and contains identifying data including name, title, etc…

Email addresses land on this list when a subscriber unsubscribes from a list but remains on the list because of the owner’s unsubscribe policy. See Admin > Privileges – Who can unsubscribe for the permission setting. Email addresses are removed from this exclude list when they re-subscriber to the list.
