yes, i am using mailman for a newsletter-type list. under privacy options in the mailman admin select 'No' for 'Restrict posting privilege to list members?' Then add the admin address that posts are allowed from to the next option, 'Addresses of members accepted for posting...' This address doesn't actually have to be a member address (my post address is not subscribed to my list and it still works). thats it, but i would also recommend adding an auto-response to list postsers (in admin 'Auto-Response' section) that says something nice like "i'm sorry but members are not allowed to post to this list." read through the rest of the mailman options to see if any of them might also make your list more newsletter-like. for example, i set (in 'Privacy Options' again) 'Advertise this list...' to 'No' and 'Who can view subscription list' to 'List admin only.' let me know if i haven't been clear enough on this information. good luck. -- devin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py
