No doubt there are plans in progress. Meantime, you can achieve very flexible screening by front-ending mailman's submission address with procmail, or any one of several other filters. I myself wouldn't even consider operating a mailing list without a screening filter on the front end. That's what we did with our Majordomo lists, and that's what we do now that all our lists have been moved to Mailman. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Wilder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Technical Manager & Editor SSC, Inc.
