Having a closed list accepting automaticaly emails from subscribed users but needing an approval if not subscribed could be done i think...
Or, if this needs too much human intervention, an automatic response for pples not subscribed to the list and sending an email, stating 2 choices: 1- subscribe (how-to) and resubmit or 2- use the http://blah webform to submit the question/request/etc. The form would have a signature email accepted by majordomo... and would have also the benefit of making it clear for everybody if the mail need to have a CC to the sender included or not :o) Regards, - Alocin > -----Message d'origine----- > De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]De la part de Stacy Brown Thellend > Envoye : 17 fevrier, 2003 16:05 > A : s gibinski > Cc : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Objet : Re: [Coder-Com] Spam > > > I don't think this can be done with majordomo. > > On Mon, 17 Feb 2003, s gibinski wrote: > > > Would it be possible to have the person making the submission > self-approve > > the posting to the list (rather than the moderator)? > > > > Sorry, I'm not familiar with major domo, but here is what I am thinking: > > 1.
