See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.045.htp> and <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.060.htp> for information about what roles/capabilities are given to 'admins' and 'moderators' in Mailman. >Conventional moderation may well be turning on moderation for a given >subscriber, but I am not interested in this to the extent that I >don't know whether it is possible in Mailman. Yes, it is possible. See settings under Privacy options...->Sender filters and the 'mod' column in Membership Management...->Membership List. >The moderation that appeals to me is for instance putting a given >subscriber on leave for a given number of days to cool off (without >manually having to keep track of when it expires). > >Useful would also be assigning a given number of messages that >subscribers can post in 24 hour period (all or given subscribers).

You could submit a feature request (see <http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Mailman+2.2> and <http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Mailman+3.0>), but the best way to get something like this into the code base is to implement it yourself (following the style suggestions at <http://barry.warsaw.us/software/STYLEGUIDE.txt>) and submit it as a patch. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
