Thanks for your comments, Brad. I've contacted a couple of companies on the Hosting Services list, as the Consultancy list is actually empty. Everything else everybody's told me seems like MailMan will do the job, although the Python aspect (or my complete lack of knowledge of it) could be a problem.

That sounds like a standard moderated mailing list. Unless you choose the functions to convert it into an anonymous list, the sender's address will always appear to be that of the original sender (i.e., the "From:" header is not modified), pretty much regardless of what else may be done to the message. As a moderator, you would get an e-mail message telling you that there is something waiting in the moderator queue, you fire up a web browser to go look at the queue and take action on it, and any approved messages should then show up on the list. Of course, in the default configuration the sender is going to get a notice that their message is being held for moderation, which is good in most circumstances, but maybe not what you want here. From the looks of it, I think you want to talk to some Python/Mailman service providers and get a more direct in-person discussion over what the software can and cannot do for you, what kinds of fees they charge for their services, etc.... I'd suggest starting with the links in the "Mailman Community" page at <http://wiki.list.org/display/COM/Home> and check out both hosting services and consulting services. -- Brad Knowles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> *********************************************************************************** Any opinions expressed in email are those of the individual and not necessarily those of the company.
