Actually, that's not true. A lot of Mailman generated notices are actually sent to list-owner, received and re-sent to the actual owner/moderator addresses. Note you may be able to accomplish 2) with header_filter_rules. It's tricky because the same rules are applied to both list mail and list-owner mail, so you have to be able to distinguish between them. If you aren't concerned about "implicit destination" list mail, you could do something like Rule 1 regexps: ^to:.*(\s|<)LISTNAME@ ^cc:.*(\s|<)LISTNAME@ action = accept Rule 2 regexp: ^message-id: <mailman\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.listn...@hostname>$ action = accept Rule 3 regexp = . Action = discard The idea being that rule 1 passes mail destined for the list, rule 2 accepts mail with a mailman generated message-id and rule 3 discards the rest. Of course, as others have pointed out, discarding mail addressed to list-owner may not be a good idea. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
