Make them "no mail" and "moderated". Of course, if they have archive access, it shouldn't matter whether of not they actually receive email. OTOH, the no-mail flag tells you if it was set by the user or the admin (or by excessive bounces). They can't change the moderated flag at all. z! ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
