It is not clear to me what you are talking about. What Mailman package/version is this? What "general tab"? > I'd like to be able to manage the authorized posters separately from the > subscribed posters. Is there a way to do that?

First, allowing authorized members to post by setting them unmoderated is not secure. People receiving the posts know who the authorized posters are and can easily post by spoofing an authorized address. See the FAQ at <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030685> and the "How to post to the announcement list:" section for Mailman 2.1. Similar things exist for Mailman 3. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
