There is a drawback with this method, however; if anyone figures out the name of the "reflector," they will be able to spam everyone on the list, and there won't be a thing you can do about it except to change the name of the reflector account. AutoShare would be a better way to go to prevent this; you can set up the list so that only certain people (administrators, or subscribers, or just some subscribers, or etc.) can post to it; you can even hide the name of the list so that it's completely unrelated to the public name of the list (which I do with the GRAVY list, hosted here). AutoShare can be a bit confusing to set up, but I have made up a "cheat sheet" for AutoShare and SIMS; let me know and I'll send you a copy.
