I don't know why this doesn't work. It works for me. >(I also tried replacing the double quotes with "off"). That will definetly not work. That will pass the string "off" as the value of mod in the mlist.setMemberOption (addr, mm_cfg.Moderate, mod) call, and setMemberOption tests the Python truth of this value. Since "off" is a non-zero length string, it is True so the option will be set On. The null string is the only argument that can be passed to this script which has value False. >This does not >actually remove the flag for this address - posting to the list by this >address still gets a bounce back saying that moderator approval is required. > >Any ideas? See the script at <http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/set_mod.py> which is more robust and may work better for you. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
