If you set member_moderation_action to reject or discard, the moderator
won't see the posts. The normal way is to set Reject and set an
appropriate member_moderation_notice. These settings are on Privacy
options...->Sender filters. See

for more about setting up this kind of list.

While this is the preferred method, if you don't have sufficient
access, you can script the web interface. See
http://starship.python.net/crew/jwt/mailman/#throughtheweb for a
script.

Without making changes to the Mailman source code, or changing 
the defaults that ship with Mailman, you can't do this from the web 
admin interface, unless you've got a really small list.  Even if you 
do change the defaults (so as to display more members on a page), 
that's still just going to be presented the same way as the 
information you already see -- probably not what you're looking for.

To get the kind of information you want, you pretty much have to 
telnet or ssh in to the server and use the command-line interface. 
You're looking for the command "list_members".  Go to the Mailman FAQ 
Wizard at  and search for 
"mailman/bin".

You need to be asking this question of someone who will create a list on 
their server. This list is intended for administrators of Mailman servers. 
It isn't the right place to find someone willing to host a list for you.

In mailman, there will be a list of users who you are emailing to.

But if you need help getting something setup, someone here on the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list might be able to help.

You should ask on the mailing list whether anyone is willing to help.

That is not my business, I operate an ISP.
