Yes, that is a good way to temporarily disable a list. I think you could actually leave the aliases in place (except for maybe changing the -owner alias), and the pipe to the mail/mailman wrapper will fail resulting in a reject to the sender. You should test to see if you think the reject is appropriate. You can do this by creating an alias like bogus: "|/path/to/mail/mailman post bogus" and sending a message to that address. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
