Managing Enterprise List membership

This topic provides information about adding Message Networking subscribers to Enterprise Lists. The system also allows you to change the delivery priority for an existing member or delete existing members from a list.

Delivery prioritization determines which list members get a message processed or delivered first by remote machine or range of network addresses for each Enterprise List. Depending on such things as message size, current traffic, and list size, messages sent to Enterprise Lists can sometimes take a long time to deliver. This feature helps administrators control who on an Enterprise List receives a message first, for example all remote machines at headquarters.

Message Networking provides ten criteria by which to administer delivery priority and Enterprise List membership. A dynamic record of the membership of each Enterprise List is stored in the system according to the different criteria used to add members to that list. At the time a message is sent using an Enterprise List, the system assembles the appropriate recipients for that list based on its current record of membership criteria.

You can add system subscribers or other Enterprise Lists to an Enterprise List using any of the following ten criteria:

• Individual network address
• Individual numeric address
• Subscriber name
• Name match
• Range of network address
• Range of numeric address
• Email address
• Remote machine name
• Community ID
• Language ID

Note: While you can add another Enterprise Lists as a member of a list, Enterprise Lists can be a maximum of two levels. This means that only one level of embedded lists is supported. For example, if List B is embedded within List A, then List B cannot include any embedded lists.
