If you post a multipart/alternative message with a text/plain and a text/html part, the first line Approved: header should work although its removal from the HTML part isn't 100% guaranteed. Also, I can';t tell you how to do it in MS Outlook, but many MUAs have a mechanism for adding true headers to the mail.

And it won't stop the spammers anyway. The spammers may have just been lucky in spoofing your address, and even if you assume the got your list address and posting address from spyware on one of your member's computers, they have it. >Third, I can't afford to turn everyone's moderation bit on even my own address >and then approve the messages using the web interface for 2 reasons: > > > >1- I have 7 lists which is a real pain to log into each one of them and >approve the messages.. > >2- I'm afraid to approve one of the tens of spam and members messages by >mistake .. > > > >what's the advice?? We gave you the advice. Post with an Approved: header or an Approved: first line in a multipart/alternative message. You can do it. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
