The 'administrator' and 'moderator' addresses aren't considered when determining if a message is to be allowed. Any addresses you'd like to accept mail from, add to 'accept_these_nonmembers' under 'Sender filters' under 'Privacy Options' in the web interface. ALTERNATIVELY, include as the first line of your message: 'Approved: <list admin password>' (this is better, since it's totally proof against spoofing. Man-in-the-middle attacks, however, can theoretically intercept your mail on the way to the server, and get the password out of it. FYI.) -- - Patrick Bogen ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] 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
