It is complicated as I indicated in my original reply. It would help if You went to an archive URL based on the template I gave and actually found a message. But, the answer to your exact question is No. In your scenario, the post will presumably be 'from' the Gmane address so it will be hels as a post from a moderated member. *_these_nonmembers only applies to non-member posts. Now, you could make all those authorized posters members of your list (perhaps with no mail delivery and no password reminders), and that would work if the posts are From: them. Then I think you could moderate the Gmane address, and if it's the envelope sender, and/or Sender:, the member address in From: will take priority and determine what is done with the post. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
