You need to make your own version of the subscribeack.txt template and install it as a list specific, domain specific or sitewide template (probably list specific in this case). For example, if your list's name is mylist and the only language you're concerned with is English, your template would go in lists/mylist/en/subscribeack.txt where lists/mylist is the existing directory for your list in the mailman installation. FAQ article 4.48 explains this process. >Is there an option >that I can turn on to make this list a read-only list? There is no single option to set to make a read-only list. FAQ article 3.11 explains the various steps required. >Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py It seems to me that the above to FAQ articles already present the required information in as "non-technical" a way as is possible. Perhaps if you could point to specific things in the FAQ which are unclear to you and ask specific questions about them, we might be able to help you further. Note that some of this requires shell (command line) access to your Mailman installation. If you don't have this, you are going to need the assistance of someone who administers your mailman installation at that level. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
