I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but the patch at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1220144&group_id=103&atid=300103 may help. This patch allows you to put '@listname' in list_2's accept_these_nonmembers field and then all the members of listname are allowed to post to list_2. If I understand you correctly, you could do the following: Create list_x. No one will post to this list. No general users need to be aware of it. You can set it up per http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.011.htp so it is fully moderated and no one can post. You then add all your non-member 'approved' addresses to this list. Then when you create a new [EMAIL PROTECTED] list, you put @list_x in the accept_these_nonmembers field. Thus, all the members of list_x will be allowed to post to any of the [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists, and the special approved posters can be dynamically maintained just by maintaining the membership of list_x. This does require installation of the patch, which may or may not be an issue. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
