If you're just wanting to post from an address but don't want to get
listmail to it, subscribe that address and then send a message to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with message body
set brin-l mail postpone
and that'll take care of it.
Other options for setting your listmail are
set brin-l mail ack
for getting individual messages, and
set brin-l mail digest
for getting a digest once a day.
And remember, remember, remember, the argument "mail" has to be in there
in the right place, or you and I and Jeroen and Eileen will all get an
error message. (I can't tell you how many error messages I've gotten in
the past for just that simple act of omission on the part of many
people. It hasn't been happening as often lately, though.)

p.s. any other questions about handling subscriptions?
