Hey! Hmmmmm, let me think about this... Yes, I think this will work! Oh... wait... How would this work in conjunction with the new functionality provided by this patch: > I think you mean > http://tinyurl.com/3xxdhk > This patch allows specifying the name of a list (say list2) in list1's > accept_these_nonmembers so that members of list2 can post to list1 > even if they aren't members of list1. Would I be able to set up a 'vendors' list, that just acts as a container for all of the vendors, set each members options as you described above, then put this list name in the other lists 'accept_these_nonmembers' field, and have it 'just work'? Remember, the 'vendors' list will not be a functioning list - the members of that list will be posting to one of two other lists, each of which expands to about 4 lists total internally - my lists are nested, by the way - some contain only other lists as members, some contain a mix of lists and individual members. Thanks for the suggestion! I hope it will work as you described... -- Best regards, Charles ------------------------------------------------------ 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
