I believe Reject is the Correct answer, in this case.) Note that you'll have to go in and manually set all members to be moderated. You can do this at the command line somehow, I'm sure, but I don't know how. If you have a bunch of members, someone here will probably post the way to do it at command-line. > * generally allow the rss-mail-source to post w/o me having to wave > through the posts manually Same screen as above, add sender address to accept_these_nonmembers Alternatively, if you can coerce rss-mail-source ot include an 'Approved: <list password>' header in its submissions, that'll work, too. This is a better solution, because it can't be 'spoofed'. (I.e., in theory, anyone can send an email and claim it came from whatever rss-mail-source comes from.) > * (I think) the rss-mail-source can/should not be a member of the list > as it is an outside service That's fine; see above. > (I think) I set the rss-source to 'non meers who are allowed to post to > the list' but the system requires me to moderate. Is emergency moderation turned on? What, exactly, did you put in accept_these_nonmembers? (If that is, in fact, what you set...) What email address is rss-mail-source coming from? -- - Patrick Bogen ------------------------------------------------------ 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
