Hello again, Thanks for the prompt reply. I think you may be misunderstanding what I want to do. First, I don't want list administrators to have to make decisions
that software should be able to do. I want a filter that when it sees an external email address for a member, it simply removes "list URL" references from the current email message. One if statement somewhere that selects from two email templates for the current canned message. I don't want URL's appearing in messages that are inaccessible to the recipient. My real problem is that I don't know the logic of Mailman or Python.
