Since no one else has commented on this yet, I thought I should do so lest it be forgotten. :) I think it'd be very cool if I could set up one of my list servers to do grab images and do this automatically, perhaps after confirmation from the admin interface (so if it were *really* huge I could refuse to store it, or if I had it grabbing anything that was larger than the limit, I'd probably want to check to make sure it wasn't another copy of SirCam before posting :P ). I'm not too sure it'd be useful to the world as a whole, but I do this manually now for one server's worth of lists, so maybe implementing it for myself would be worth it. It's funny that you should mention it, because I got a handful of images sent to one of my smaller lists this week and I was actually thinking about this just before you posted. It's good to know that using list security is easy, too. Ages ago, we contemplated using mailman passwords to allow access to a linuxchix wiki (It seems sorta wrong to limit access to a wiki, but linuxchix is a likely target for trolls... although thankfully we haven't had many on the mailing lists), and although I figured it could be done, it's neat to know where to start if I ever have a similar idea brought up. :) _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
