Is it possible, because this setting MUST be an email address, that the umbrella list (ulist) must be listed as an unmoderated subscriber to plist?, Or v.v.? That doesn't make a whole lot of sense, especially with the requirement of NOT sending out duplicate emails if a subscriber is on both lists. At some point, subscriber addresses which are on both lists have to be reduced to a single address so that the list subscriber db is effectively normalized, with the subscriber address as the effective index. Is it possible that that the code for ulist sends out a "list-request email to plist, subject of "who pwd", and parses the subscriber list from the (rather chatty) reply? From a security standpoint, something this would definitely make sense, since there MUST be some way for the mailman code supporting plist knows that ulist is authorized to do the jiggery pokery necessary to obtain the subscriber list from plist. https://wiki.list.org/DOC/What%20is%20an%20Umbrella%20list%20-%20and%20why%20doesn%27t%20it%20do%20what%20I%20want%3Fhttps://wiki.list.org/DOC/What%20is%20an%20Umbrella%20list%20-%20and%20why%20doesn%27t%20it%20do%20what%20I%20want%3F is instructive, but I may need to update to MM 2.1.10. My current 2.1.8 has some serious patches which I wrote which may not apply to 2.1.10. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Never expect the people who caused a FMP Computer Services | problem to solve it." 512-496-7118 | -- Albert Einstein http://www.fmp.com | ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list -- mailman-users@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/ Member address: arch...@mail-archive.com
