Mailman 3 is going in this direction, i.e. a real back end user database with user roles, but current Mailman 2.1/2.2 has as you note just per-list passwords for admin and moderator authentication. Converting this to user/password authentication, whether LDAP based or not, would be a significant change. I'm not aware of anyone having done this. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
