In Imail Administrator. Look on the List Options tab.
You set the moderator password there. To specify the
moderator password in the message put it in the subject
line like this:
[:password:] Subject
The is left square bracket, colon, password, colon, right
square bracket.

Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Blocking GeoList Attacks - Security Hole
I reviewed Chapter 15 "List Server Mailing Lists" in the IMail Server for
NT User's Guide (v5 .pdf), and didn't see anything for setting a moderator
password. Specifically it doesn't show up in the "List Settings |
Security" dialog where I would expect it. Can anyone point me to how to
set a moderator-only list password? Also once a "moderator password" is
set, how do I specify it when I post an email?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jack
