Thanks, everybody, for your responses. I put it up yesterday with the first dozen of the 30 added in the first wave. I gave some of them full rights and left the others moderated and played with it all afternoon. I hope my boss, who gave me the assignment thinks it was a productive Friday afternoon. ;^)
Anyway, I think I had come to about the same configuration that you all suggested, and it is nice to have confirmation that I'm thinking down the right track. I hadn't thought about Brad's point about 130 large attachments, but it is a good one. One of the things we were thinking about was a weekly distribution of a dozen 100K spreadsheets. I guess that's out. Looks like I'll be spending some time lurking in this forum. I'm not shy about asking for help, so you'll probably hear from me again. Thanks for your help. CJon Oh! sorry about the big sig. Our IT dept does that for anything that goes outside the system. I can't turn it off.

Generally speaking, munging the Reply-To: header is considered to be a bad idea -- See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.048.htp>. That said, for certain types of lists, it may make sense to do this sort of thing. Lists where that is more appropriate tend to be ones that are run internally to an organization, and where you can make an across-the-board decision like this and do so with the approval of management. > Am I taking the wrong tack here?

That's the path I would be inclined to take. You can choose which people get their moderation bit turned off, so that they can post directly. Everyone else gets moderated, and you have a small team of people who do the work of eliminating the wheat from the chaff. -- Brad Knowles, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), reply of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the Governor, November 11, 1755 SAGE member since 1995.
