The safer way to do this that prevents posting by spoofing Vicki or Colleen in the From: header is to moderate everyone on the announcements list and post using an Approved: password header or pseudo-header. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/3YA9>. >What I'm unclear about is, if Vicki or Colleen are not members of one of the >sublists in regular_include_lists, will our posts to announcements still get >to the people who are only on those lists? Yes. >If someone is an announcements list administrator, will they be able to send >to the announcements list and thus to all the sublist subscribers? Do we need >to be announcement list members to post? Any unmoderated member can post and anyone who knows the list admin or moderator or in 2.1.15 poster password can post with an Approved: password header. Having one's address listed as an owner or moderator only results in one's receiving certain emailed notices and messages to -owner, it conveys no posting priviledge. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/5YA9>. >And just to clarify: if we want to be sure that digest members receive these >posts but not duplicates, we should include all the lists in >regular_exclude_lists (as well as includes) and include all the lists in To or >Cc? In this case, people who are members of more than one sub-list will receive dups from the sub-lists, they just won't receive a dup from the announce list if they happen to be a regular member of one or more sub-lists. Or maybe just mail to all the lists without using regular_include_lists or regular_exclude_lists at all or use an umbrella list.
