Ok .. I know now what I was missing ... brain cells is what! It never occurred to me that I had to approve the messages I was sending because I never expected that if my email address was in the admin list that I would still get the bounce message. That was wrong. So that is not such a big deal although I would like it if I didn't get the bounce message but I though there was a way to pass an Approved flag with the list password in order to circumvent the moderation thing. I tried to add Approved: <listpassword> to the subject line and as well as the first line of the email with an empty line after it but the message still gets held for moderator approval. What am I doing wrong with that?
Sorry for my dull head with the moderator thing. Cheers Dave Dave Filchak wrote: > OK ..
