Hi Richard. I don't use mailman, but you should be able to integrate tmda to work with mailman. TMDA allows you to do email whitelist and blacklist filtering with regex pattern matching on all sorts of things, including strings in the body of an email. Googling for mailman tmda appears to return some usefull results :) http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/wgchairs/current/msg05172.html Kind Regards, Keith Roberts ----------------------------------------------------------------- Websites: http://www.php-debuggers.net http://www.karsites.net http://www.raised-from-the-dead.org.uk All email addresses are challenge-response protected with TMDA [http://tmda.net] ----------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
