What am I missing. Is this not just a case of clueless list members trying to get off the list by mailing to the list? Are you saying that the list has administrivia set to yes and messages are being caught as potential administrative requests AND being forwarded to the list anyway, or is it just that some messages to the list are not being caught as administrivia? WRT the specific headers above, it looks like the message was sent to the list, held and then approved for posting to the list (X-Mailman-Approved-At: Fri, 14 Oct 2005 14:34:02 -0400). Note that messages are only held for administrivia if the subject or one of the first 5 body lines looks like something that would be a valid command if sent to the -request address. If this is the case, the message is held. If it is subsequently approved, it goes to the list. If the admin determines that the held message is an administrative request, the admin should reject the message. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
