So all_parents is what Mailman calls an umbrella list. It should be set as such so that things like password reminders go to the various classofnn-list-owner addresses instead of to the entire classofnn-list address and hence to the entire list. >I've used the name of the parent/master list as an approved sender on the >white-lists for the 6 sub-lists, but the list to list posts get >rejected/discarded - so, how do i find out what value to add in the 'sub >lists' allow/white-list field so that this 'master' list can relay mail >to/through them?

If you have not set USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER in mm_cfg.py, the sender of the post is the address in the From: header of the post which is the original poster unless the all-parents list is anonymous in which case, the From: is [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you have set USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER = Yes in mm_cfg.py, then the sender that's used will be [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the case of posts that come from the all-parents list. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
