do you mean everyone or all subscribers? lets do both, as an exercise ;)
to allow all people, subscribers or not, to post to a list except viega@list.org:
set member_posting to no set moderated to no add viega@list.org to forbidden_posters
to allow all subscribers to post to a list except viega@list.org set member_posting to yes set moderated to no add viega@list.org to forbidden_posters
perhaps member_posting could be more aptly named something else, but the current suffix "_only" implies that the variable posters is ignored when in fact it is not.
