Hi, I am new to Mailman, how does one do an announcement list to which users can not e-mail to the rest of the list users, by clicking reply? How does one run a moderated list? Regards, Maren.

There are two ways to do this: 1) You can tell MailMan to deliver via SMTP to your ISP's mail server (this is part of the normal configs when you define what mail server for MailMan to use) 2) You configure your MTA to use your ISP's mail server as a smarthost. MailMan then delivers mail to your local MTA which then immediately bounces it to your ISP's mail server for delivery. I would recommend #2. -- J C Lawrence Home: claw(a)kanga.nu ----------(*) Other: coder(a)kanga.nu --=| A man is as sane as he is dangerous to his environment |=--

I see, after reading the One True Doc (the code), that such is already possible just by editing templates/subscribeack.txt. I've moved our welcome to the bottom, and added huge screaming text at the top saying SAVE THIS MESSAGE!!! YOU WILL NEED IT TO UNSUBSCRIBE!!!! IT CONTAINS INSTRUCTIONS AND A PASSWORD THAT YOU WILL NEED TO UNSUBSCRIBE!!! REALLY! SAVE THIS MESSAGE!

You've tried "GID 1" both times for the "mail-gid". Maybe you want to try 60001 for the mail-gid?
