I have several email lists, hosted at my ISP, to which I have restricted
access with a password.

I use a Unix email program so I was able to add 'Approved: password' to
the header and then the 'Subject: whatever' line shows up in the
header; when those who use a Windows email program try it, the 'Subject:'
line in the header ends up being blank. The reason is that the they have
to put 'Approved: password' on the first line of the body of the message.

What I would like to do is eliminate the need for a password by setting up
a restric_post in the config file. The assistant unix admin at my ISP said
he would be happy to "touch" a file for me but he doesn't know much about
majordomo and would need instructions.

The system is a BSD (OpenBSD to be exact). Could someone tell me what file
he needs to touch and the permissions and can it be writeable so I can add
emails to it? Also, what exactly do I put in the config file? As much
simple detail as possible would be appreciated.

If there is another, better way to restrict who can send to a list then I
am open to suggestions. Thanks.
