Thanks as always, Mark. I will take a look at "confirm and approve." 800 is not big but this has historically been a ver active list, with posts sometimes reaching 80 a day. On that note, L-soft has two things I really really like: 1) Ability to set a max daily posting limit for individual 2) Ability to set a max daily limit for the list. In times of explosive or contentuous discussion these have proven to be essential. Any parallels in mailman?
