hi there,

I just subscribed today because I didn't find anywhere an answer to my
problem.

I manage today 9 mailing-lists with majordomo 1.94.5

7 of these mailing-lists have common restriction post policies : every
email address subscribed in these 7 lists + another "friend" list is
authorized to post here.

for each of 7 files mailing-list[1-7].config I have :

restrict_post =
mailing-list-1:mailing-list-2:mailing-list-3:mailing-list-4:mailing-list-5:mailing-list-6:mailing-list-7:mailing-list-8

but I need to create 5 more mailing-lists.

this means I have to modify all *.config each time I add a list.
moreover, I have seen on usenet there would be a problem if the line is
too long.

according to majordomo documentation, I am not allowed to create a single
file like "my-lists.restrict" to include a list of files.
I am just allowed to write all the email addresses into my-lists.restrict,
not files inculding addresses.

one solution would be to call a script each 5 minutes from the crontab,
sounds like : cat (my files) | sort -u > my-lists.restrict
but this is very ugly...

does someone knows a better solution ?
