This can be very useful in removing annoying little attachments like signatures and cards. Ezmlm-idx, by default, sets the From: header to the mailing list address and the To: header to the author's e-mail address.
Although the author of Ezmlm-idx does not recommend changing this, there are benefits to changing it. The primary one is to make the list behave like other mailing lists, which traditionally add the From: header to the author's e-mail address while adding the To: and Reply-To: headers to the mailing list. Another useful feature is the ability to turn off the mailing list's default of echoing messages sent to the mailing list back to the original sender.
This is useful in small mailing lists where having your own messages returned to you is an annoyance or for mailing lists with a robot involved that does all or most of the posting. This will exclude the sender from the recipient e-mail addresses. Most of the notification messages that Ezmlm-idx sends are also customizable. You can also have these files contain rules of the list, post guidelines, and so forth.
A good file is the unsub-nop file, which is shown to users after an unsuccessful unsubscription request. The help file contains the information that is sent when a user sends a message to mailto:dummy-help mydomain.
The bottom file is included on virtually all messages that Ezmlm-idx sends, while trailer adds the text to the bottom of each mailing list message.

The switches and their meaning is summarized here. Both the FAQ and manual for ezmlm should be read fully to give you a complete understanding of the functionality of ezmlm.
The check boxes set the following switches. An important point to remember is that leaving these switches out will not prevent a list behaviour necessarily. Most switches have a default value that will be used if you leave a setting out - check the faq carefully.
The switches set are good safe settings but they may not serve your purposes. Ezmlm-make will configure the list with a few extras such as stripping annoying mime parts such as excel spreadsheets, rtf text, html text etc from the messages. Messages consisting solely of this Content-type will be rejected. The "Others rejected" and "User posts only" switches should be used separately not together as they effectively counteract each other, unless of course you want "subscribers not moderated" behavior for your list.
The message moderation only works for posts from subscribers when these two switches Others rejected; User posts only are not checked, or for non-subscriber posts, if one or both the other switches are checked. Also you may not want to use the "User post only" switch with the "Message moderation" switch. Doing so allows subscribers and "allow" people to post without moderation.
Users are encouraged to carefully read the manual and test the behavior of their list to ensure it does what you require.
