Attempting to train your list members is futile[1]. What you can do is set Privacy options... -> Recipient filters -> max_num_recipients to 2. This will cause any post with 2 or more direct (To: and Cc:) recipients to be held and then you can reject those posts. Whether this is more or less burdensome than rejecting the non-member replies from the cross-posted lists is something only you can decide. Also this creates another problem. If, as we strongly recommend, your list doesn't munge Reply-To:, and your user's MUAs don't offer a reply-list option, they probably want to reply-all to list posts which will cause their replies to be held too. Bottom line: I feel your pain, but I don't have a satisfactory solution. [1] My experience with lists whose members are not email wonks is that attempts to alter member's behavior only result in their thinking you're a jerk and don't modify their behavior. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
