The obvious, not very good way is to set gateway_to_news to No, post your message and then set gateway_to_news back to Yes. The obvious drawbacks are that this is tedious, and any other posts that come to the list while gateway_to_news is off will not be sent to the newsgroup. A better way would be to modify Mailman/Handlers/ToUsenet.py to recognize something in your post (a special header, a code in the subject, ...) and skip it. Still better would be to make a custom handler (see <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.067.htp>) which would recognize your post and set fromusenet = True in the message metadata. Adding this handler just before ToUsenet in the pipeline will allow it to recognize your administrivia and fake ToUsenet into ignoring the post because it came from Usenet. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
