Go to the list administration->Privacy options...->Sender filters page, scroll to the bottom and select "Reject" or "Discard" for "Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit action is defined."
Doh! I'd swear I looked there...
There are sometimes posts that exceed the size limit or cc limit that I
do approve, so simply discarding the entire spool of admin messages is
not a solution.
If you're routinely approving these
Nope, it's a case by case basis. I have the limit set to 128K which is more than enough for most anything, but sometimes someone has a picture that really would lose too much being shrunk down. I send a warning message out (this is a family/friends private list) before hand and then approve it. Thanks for the pointer though.
Whilst I have your attention is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
legal for the regex match in the discard_these_nonmembers
how about
[EMAIL PROTECTED]|k].com
(That is to say, when it say regex does it really mean regex and what flavour of regex?)
^[:digit:]{4,7}[bcdefghjklmnpqrstvwxz]{2,[EMAIL PROTECTED]??
