Without modifying the code or writing your own email subscribe process such as suggested by Adam McGreggor in another reply, what you suggest is not possible. The only way I can think to do this without code modifications is the following: Set the list's subscribe_policy to Require approval. Then a moderator (or anyone) can send an email with Subject: subscribe new_users_pw (no)digest [email protected] to the list-request address. The moderator who sent the request will receive a "results of your email commands" message saying the request has been forward to the list admin. If admin_immed_notify is yes, all owners/moderators will receive notice of a held subscription. In any case, the moderator can go to the web admindb interface and approve the held subscription. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
