Correct. regular_include_lists will solve this issue as will some of the other suggestions in that FAQ, but the question yesterday was a different one. Yesterday, you said >However, they also want to be able to use the individual list address, >eg X-1, and make it "look" like the email was 'sent to' (not just from) >the parent mailing list address, X. I don't know a way to do this within Mailman. Perhaps what you really want is something different. Consider a single list X with defined topics X-1 and X-2. The X-1 people are members of the X list and subscribe only to the X-1 topic and similarly for X-2. Then posts with appropriate Subject: or Keywords: headers will go only to the members subscribed to the matching topic. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
