As Dragon replied, the normal way to do this is to set Privacy options...->Sender filters->default_member_moderation to Yes. Unfortunately there is no good Mailman list admin reference. The two references are linked from <http://www.list.org/admins.html>, but Chris Kolar's manual is for Mailman 2.0 and Terri Oda's manual is incomplete. >I would rather just send the info in a url and be done with it and >not change any of the file settings so when I update mailman I don't >have to redo anything. > > >So this is where I'm at: I tried > >http://mydomain.org/mailman/admin/tips/members? >[EMAIL PROTECTED]&setmemberopts_btn&adminpw=mypassword > >Is it possible to set this from a URL?

I tried it myself and wasn't able to get it right. You need to look at the actual code in Mailman/Cgi/admin.py to see what cgi data are required. In addition to what you have, you definitely need the hidden 'user' field ([EMAIL PROTECTED] in your example above). You also need to provide the realname and all the other options that are checked or they will be cleared. It's much easier to just set default_member_moderation to Yes. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
