To add to this, I have 3 lists (announce, users, and developers). Announce is a moderated list and the other two are subscribers only and unmoderated. The announce list is only used for new releases and those notices should go to everyone, i.e. all the lists. What I'd been doing is sending announcements to all 3 lists, but thought it would be much more elegant to do as Hong wants, so messages to announce are automatically forwarded to users and developers. I, too, ran into the "Post by non-member ..." problem. When I "accepted" the messages they went out, which is how I found out about "gotcha" number 2. Replies went to the announce list (rather than the user or developer lists), hence needed moderation. At the moment it looks like a nasty tangle. As Hong says, it'd be useful to have a forwarding mechanism which doesn't generate moderator requests and that has replies going to the final list. In the meantime, I'm finding mailman a great tool and using my workaround, i.e. "CC: users; developers". Keep up the good work!
