I upgraded to mailman 2.1.1 - purely to get the feature that you can have individual "welcome" messages for each list. So for this readonly list I do that and delete mention of posting to the list (also edit the web pages the same). And using the individual "mod" flags as described in: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.011.htp Seems to work fine now (but now I won't be able to automatically do mailman updates using apt-get, hopefully there won't be any security notices about mailman).
