I'm not sure if you can remove all the digest details you want without changing the mailman code a little. That's not too hard really, but might not be an option if you're using mailman on a shared web host. > 2.

Is there a way to suppress the "Post by non-member to > a members-only list" autoresponder? In thinking about the scenario you're trying to achieve (and bear in mind that I haven't had any caffeine or sugar yet today), it might be simplest to direct posters to send submissions to the moderators directly and let them format and/or correct them and then have them post to the full list. You could even use a separate list for those moderators so that they would all see the submissions and know if someone else had already handled a submission. - -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xD654075A | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ====================================================================== Going to hell when I die would just be redundant. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: When crypto is outlawed bayl bhgynjf jvyy unir cevinpl. iG0EARECAC0FAkRnao8mGGh0dHA6Ly93d3cucG9ib3guY29tL350bXovcGdwL3Rt ei5hc2MACgkQuv+09NZUB1raXwCeKtu1HY2MTxejXQhTrbFQCorywtEAoN+OD8Vc YwNdm5IsnGSPqDEPolwB =CbZi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------ 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
