Ok, second question...

Since I just upgraded to 2.1.11, I'd like to streamline things a little and make use of the ability to add lists to the 'accept_these_nonmembers' filter.

My question basically is, what happens if I add a list in the 'accept_these_nonmembers' list, but that list contains another list as well as individual subscribers?

From what I can tell, it *looks* like it won't hurt anything, but the members of that nested lists will still have to added individually in order to be accepted. Is this right?

Hmmm.. that sounded a little twisted... here's a semi-graphical explanation:

Currently, this site uses nested lists, like so (I *will* be changing the current nested list structure to use the new 'Umbrella' structure, but I still want an answer to this question):

Lists:
accounting
administration
everyone
sales
teamleaders
 etc...

teamleaders list members:
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

sales list members:
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 etc...

everyone list members:
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 etc...

Now, currently, each list has the individual ([EMAIL PROTECTED], etc) users that aren't actual members added in the 'accept_these_nonmembers' filter.

Now, if I add @sales to 'accept_these_nonmembers' for the everyone list and remove all of the individual @sales members, then user3 and user4 will be able to send to everyone, but user3 and user4 will not, even though they are members of teamleaders and [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a member of sales, I would have to also add @teamleaders to allow user1 and user2 to be able to send to everyone - correct?

My main concern is that having a nested list inside a list that is added to the 'accept_these_nonmembers' field of another list won't *break* anything, especially in some way that is not readily apparent...

If you read through this convoluted question, then you have more patience than I do... ;)

Tia,

Simon
