Hi Eric, Thanks for the reply, but if I understand correctly what that would do, then only subscribers could send email to that list?
IOW, if I wasn't a member of a given list I couldn't send email to it? I'm not sure that would work for us. We have several distribution lists here, roughly one per department. If somebody in the A/R dept. wants to send an email to everybody in the A/P dept. they can use the A/R dept. list. They probably wouldn't be a subscriber to a list from a different dept. What is the point of AUTH'ing and the log message "Authenticated [EMAIL PROTECTED], session treated as local."? If the sessions were truly treated as local then I'd think that would solve the problem. Instead, despite the log message to the contrary, the user sessions are treated as remote.
