If you want everyone to be required to use an Approved: header to post, accept_these_nonmembers should be empty. If a non-member is in accept_these_nonmembers with the above settings, a post from that non-member (or a spoof of that non-member's address) will be accepted. With accept_these_nonmembers empty, any post with a valid Approved: header, whether or not from a member, will be accepted and all others will be held. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
