Is it possible to setup a list on a BQ box that allows people to subscribe and unsubscribe - but the list will only accept messages from one user?Bill,
Example a newsletter list. (not a discussion group)

Sure, just do it in PHP based around a subscribers list in a mysql database.
Where the site is completely dynamic you can set it up so the newsletter is automatically generated from the database that controls the site.
Have a look at how the sign-up and newsletter works on www.ukdecorativearts.com which is one of my customers product showcase type sites.
There was a thing also called mymail which I tried, worked well but just way to difficult for customers to make newsletters, compared with the system above which is fully automatic.

Thanks for the input Phil, I was hoping there was a way to do it with the built in tools.
PHP, we can do, but the client wanted it to cost the proverbial "nothing".

Bill,
Send
them off happy using mymail then, thats a freebie, but they will need to
understand that a knowledge of html is required if they want anything half
decent emerging from it! http://www.phpnerds.com/scripts/MyMail/ being
the place it comes from! Sell 'em some standard templates maybe to go
with it!
It
works just fine on a Raq 4 so should be more than fine on a BQ one. Only thing
I had to trim from default was the number of sends per sec as it was banging
up the load average a tad.
