Hmmm, the lack of response on this one leads me to assume that announce only lists are not a feature of Mailman. Short of modifying the default welcome message and mangling every other lists welcome message, this is not doable. Are there any developers monitoring this list? Are there plans to add this type of functionality in the future? It would seem reasonable that one could alter the entire contents of a welcome message for any given list without affecting every other list. A default welcome should still be available but allowed to be overridden entirely for a specific list.
I guess a workaround would be to take the unwanted verbage out of the default welcome message then prepending appropriate text to the non announce only lists. Any other thoughts on this?

In looking at mailman, it appears the standard welcome message can be prepended with some text, but you cannot customize the entire message for a specific list. We particulary want to cut out the wording about how to post to the list, since posting will not be permitted. What are the standard procedures for setting up an announce only list without effecting the welcome message for every other list on the same server? I'm sure there is a simple way that I'm overlooking.
