What do you consider a subscribe request? If you mean a message sent to the list posting address ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) with a subject or message body saying "please subscribe me" or something like that, then you can't do what you want because these messages will be discarded like any other non-member post. If you consider a subscribe request to be a message sent to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] address or to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address with subject or body "subscribe", then this is easy. You can set subscribe_policy to require your approval or not. You can set admin_notify_mchanges to Yes so you get notified of subscribes and unsubscribes. You can set generic_nonmember_action to Discard so non-member posts will be discarded. So, if you're not concerned about subscribe requests sent to the list posting address, you can discard all non-member posts. If you want to see a potential subscribe request that's sent to the list posting address, then you have to Hold non-member posts. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
