I was wondering if it was possible to distinguish between the list moderator and everyone else so that the moderator's message would be authenticated immediately, whereas everyone else would get discarded, as opposed to having be discarded manually?

Not sure how to set that in the web interface and/or list_config file. All you need to do in the web interface is to set the authorized poster to 'moderated' along with everyone else. You don't need to do anything special to enable the use of the Approved: password header. That is always available. Note that the name of the header is Approved: or Approve:, not Accepted:, and password is either the list's admin password or the list's moderator password. Use of the Approved: header with correct password bypasses all tests for holding, rejecting, discarding or accepting messages except for Privacy options...->Spam filters->header_filter_rules and the mm_cfg.py setting for KNOWN_SPAMMERS. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
