Maybe not, if all posts to the announce list is also sent to the disscusion list, for disccusion. That will be a solution very similar to the one I proposed earlier in this thread. I also suggest a closed admin list, for moderators only, which is where all posts to the announce list go for moderation. It then needs a handler for when any moderator replies to a mail there, then the mail will be accepted, and forwarded to the moderated list. That is IMHO the easiest way to handle many moderators, but then I'm no expert in mail list administration... So if I just want the announcements I subscribe to the announce list, if I want the full discussion and all the flamewars etc. I subscribe to the discussion list instead. -- /~\ The ASCII Kenneth Ekdahl \ / Ribbon Campaign [EMAIL PROTECTED] X Against HTML [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ Email! http://sensei.nu http://merit.sensei.nu _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
