Cameron, .. all of which also raises the question: How, and to what address(es) do 'posts' TO the list arrive? They probably need a bit of recognition and handling logic as well, lest they be refused by the settings so far suggested. JFWIW - life is considerably simpler (especially when 'bounces' are returned) if the MTA/MLM can be given a valid <domain>.<tld> of its own, and outbound headers set to what makes sense w/r distinguishing 'From:, 'Reply To:', posts, moderation, subscribe/unsubscribe, and the return path needed by the inevitable bounces a list will encounter as members change addresses, overfill quotas, or go on vacation. All old stuff, and probably better covered in your Mailing List Manager software docs and their support/user list archives than here.
