Thanks but we have the newsgroup because some members, albeit a few, prefer a newsgroup interface. They would definitely not want to use the newsgroup to read and then have to use email to post.
I am experimenting with the mailman option 'List of non-member addresses whose postings will be immediately held for moderation' and adding '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' which is what shows in the headers of the gated newsgroup posts (with * being a random number). Am I wasting my time looking into that? If not do I have the * right - I don't understand the mailman help line "start the line with a ^ character to designate a regular expression match", can someone give examples of that usage to obtain the wildcard function?
