Thanks for the input and the info. I did find a 1.0.9 version.. but I'm not really wanting to go back that far for the reasons you outlined.

What my customer wants to do is create a mailing list that is:

1. Moderated.
2. Only subscribers can post to - and subscriber posts have to be approved by moderators.
3. Any post made by a non subscriber is ignored.

The reason for this is that the list gets a lot of spam sent to it and the the moderators are inundated with moderation requests for a lot of spam. Being able to limit it to subscribers only would help.

The last option down on the list would *seem* to do this, but it allows anyone to post to the list - but all posted messages are sent to the moderator.

I've tried working with the m, u and o options... even created an "muO" option, but it doesn't seem to work.

I'd be open to suggestions.

Reading through the man page for ezmlm-make, I don't think there's a valid combination of options to get what your customer wants.  Here's what the man page says on your muO option:

-----
There is no reason to combine of SENDER checks on posts with  message moderation.  Therefore, the combination of the -u switch with the -m switch is used for a configuration with SENDER restrictions (like with -u alone), with the difference  that  posts  from  non-subscribers will be sent for moderation instead of being rejected. This allows the list admin to let non-subscribers post occasionally, as well as to  catch  subscribers  posting  from non-subscriber addresses.

Trust me when I say it took some time to make sense of all of the options and convert them to what you see on the current QmailAdmin interface.  I'm fairly confident that the current options accurately describe each possible list configuration.
