That's the good scenario. The bad scenario is called backscatter and is when the notice is deliverable to the innocent third party whose address was spoofed as the sender. > So … how can I globally stop bounces and moderator approval messages? Set respond_to_post_requests to No on each list and set DEFAULT_RESPOND_TO_POST_REQUESTS = No in mm_cfg.py so that new lists get created with respond_to_post_requests = No. Then Mailman won't send the “Your message awaits moderator approval” notices. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
