If you don't have direct access to the file on host, you can get it via the web with a URL like <http://www.example.com/Mailman/private/LIST.mbox/LIST.mbox>. This works whether the archive is private or public. > To answer your question, I made a mistake in the regex (it's been years > since messing with those little darlings).

The ONLY thing that will be accomplished by putting an address or regexp in discard_these_nonmembers is that mail from matching non-member addresses will be discarded instead of applying generic_nonmember_action. If generic_nonmember_action is other than Accept, this should have no effect on whether a particular message goes to the list without moderator action. > Since I have also been getting emails from > "t...@otherdomain.com" I thought I would just discard everything with a > username the same as my (pretty unique) listname.
