Title: Posting to a list while being a memeber form another list

Piece of Cake...   Create a bogus user on List B and set them to "No Mail" Dump out the users from List A - ~mailman/bin/list_members Clone the dumped list into List B using the bogus user created earlier - ~mailman/bin/clone_member Set List B so that only members can post.   Viola - your users in List A can now post to List B.  They are technically members of B, but they don't get any mail sent to B.   You can easily setup a script to automate the process on an on-going basis.  If you do, may I suggest dumping the member lists of both lists into two tmp files and using "diff" to make your clone adds...   === For a simple alternative, setup a user that can post to List B Send folks in List A the email address and let them setup their Email client to use that as one of their "personalities".  I use several email clients and all of them allow folks to change (on the fly) who the email is from.   Good Luck - Jon Carnes ----- Original Message ----- From: Lafleur Maurice To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 8:44 AM Subject: [Mailman-Users] Posting to a list while being a memeber form another list I have the following situation: List A is a generic, plain ML to which members can post List B is an "announce" type list: only one person can post, members read only. Members of B want to post to A without being members of A, but *have to* be members of B. In other words, they dont want the traffic from A but still need to post to it. What set up should I use for this? Thank you. MGL -- Maurice G.
