i forgot to say that "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is the name of the mailing list (i only changed the hostname to the fictious name, "meusite.pt") The list is configured so that ONLY email addresses that end in "@meusite.pt" can post. This means that a message whose sender is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" would be accepted... I did that through the setting "List of non-member addresses whose postings should be automatically accepted." with the value "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". I think i need to change that! thanks, Mark ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
