TMDA does provide the ability to accept mailing list messages as well as deliver them in a number of different ways, and to multiple locations, sort of like a scaled down procmail. However, if you aren't using this advanced functionality, I wouldn't bother. I've mentioned this before, but my personal stance on this issue is to not mix TMDA with mailing lists. Since TMDA doesn't filter based on content, it can't help you with spam on the list anyway. Once the spam gets distributed to the list, it's now just another list message as far as TMDA is concerned. Filtering your list traffic with TMDA will just necessitate extra time fiddling with your whitelist and/or creating keyword/sender addresses, and possibly cause delay in your seeing the messages if they end up stuck in your pending queue because of a misconfiguration. Instead, subscribe to lists with an extension address not covered by TMDA (e.g, andrew-lists@), or use a program like procmail or maildrop to deliver your list traffic before TMDA sees it. Just my $0.02. _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
