You could try it. I very much doubt it would break anything, but since the post is not being held for the "test2" list, I'm pretty sure it won't work. >I have messages that are sent to a main >list which should be redirected to a smaller list.

You have asked this question in different ways a few times now, and I'm still not sure what you're looking for. My impression is your "main list" is moderated or in some other way the posts are held for approval and some human wants to manually redirect a post or posts to the smaller list (whether from the Administrative Database page or from an e-mail notification, I'm not sure, although this time it looks like e-mail) in some easy way while keeping the original From: and Subject: intact. The short answer is I'm not aware of any easy way to do this in Mailman. That doesn't mean there isn't one, just that I'm not aware of one (see disclaimer below). The longer answer is depending on what tools the human has available and which of these the human is comfortable in using, there may or may not be ways of doing this which in the short term at least are easier than simply returning the post to the OP and asking that it be posted to the "correct" list. However, this latter method *may* have the additional advantage of eventually training people to post to the proper list in the first place, although it has the drawback of making the human appear "difficult", at least to some. As an example of what I'm talking about, I might copy and paste the post into a file, edit the To: so it references the correct new list (to avoid "implicit destination" issues and confusion among recipients) and then "sendmail -t <(the file)". Depending on how the list validates the sender, a -f may be needed too. Some MUAs can do this kind of redirect too. Disclaimer - I'm not a Mailman expert at any level. There are people on this list who know a LOT more about these things that I do. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
