There is discuss, moderated, unmoderated, allowed posters and sublist. > There is currently no way to setup a list to send an email back to > people telling them that they have been ignored that I know of. I already knew that the web-interface to the mailing-lists of source-cast sucks badly, but I was not aware that this basic thing of mailing-list administration is not possible. > Moderating lists is an interesting affair.

There might be 1 email in that set that is a valid moderation. > My wife has been doing the moderation on Users, Discuss, and [EMAIL > PROTECTED], > that is where I am basing this off of. I was not trying to say that moderating a list is an easy task. I merely wanted to say that to silently drop messages is frustrating for the user. Basic features of a mailing-list should include: * setting for subscribers only to → send a "Sorry, subscribed users only" mail to the user * setting for mailing-list that allows both: → send mail to the user "Your message has been delivered to the moderators. If you do not get a response telling you that the message has been approved or rejected in the next # days, please resend your message - I might have been lost." ciao Christian -- NP: Downset - Downset --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
