Actually, the best you can do is Recipient filters. If you set require_explicit_destination to Yes and max_num_recipients to 2, any post which is not explicitly addressed to and only to the list will be held. I.e. the list (or an acceptable alias) must be an explicit recipient or the post will be held for implicit destination, and if there are 2 or more explicit recipients, the post will be held for too many recipients. If you want more such as rejecting rather that holding the post and accepting other explicit recipients as long as they are list members, you will need a custom handler (see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/l4A9>). Keep in mind that whatever you do may be futile. If the 'rude' members are insistent, they will quickly learn to Bcc: their non-member recipients, and there's no way you'll even see that, at least until the Bcc'd non-members reply. Also, list members with more than one email address may legitimately Cc: one of their other addresses that isn't a list member. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
