Thank you. Here are my settings for Privacy Options: Member Filters: By Default, should new list member postings be moderated? = Yes Action Taken? = Hold NonMember Filters: Action to take for postings from nonmembers for which no explicit action is defined? = Hold Should messages from non-memebers, which are are discarded be fwded to moderator? = Yes As a member of the list with the mod box checked I email the list. The list not only doesnt make it to the recipients but it doesnt show up in the "Pending moderator requests" section. Here are also things that don't work which could lead to the problem, they dont sound like they would but I will post them anyway. emailing to [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not remove members from the list. if i email from the list owner the emails go to all the list members except the members of the list that have email addresses on my work domain. Example: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - get message [EMAIL PROTECTED] - get message [EMAIL PROTECTED] - does not get message Thanks!!!

If it's already set to Hold (and not Discard or Reject), then there is probably something else wrong, which is why you need to keep the conversation on-list. As willing as I am to help, I don't have perfect knowledge of Mailman. - Patrick Bogen On 11/29/06, Ken Cheney wrote: > I think I found it...
