Thanks, Mark. Apparently the option to provide for limiting postings is a hard problem. The Sympa people didn't know whether it could be accomplised with a scenario or not. I will start reading the mailman developers archive and submit a request for such features in mailman ver. 3.

Could they be implemented on mailman (or postfix, exim, sendmail)?
Mailman is open source so anyone is free to modify it to include these features. It shouldn't be too difficult for someone familiar with Mailman's internals.
I hope you're right about that assessment of the difficulty. If it really is rather easy, I would be willing to pay a python (or Linux) wizard to add that functionality.
It is very unlikely that these features will ever be implemented/included in a GNU Mailman 2.1 release. Possibly they could be considered for Mailman 3. You could submit a feature request (bug report) at <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+filebug> and tag it 'mailman3'.
is it possible to use mailmain with LSMTP on Gnu/Linux? Any advice would be appreciated.
Isn't LSMTP a Windows product?
I know that there is a limited free version of LISTSERV that runs on Gnu/Linux but I don't know if LSMTP can be used in that context.
Apologies if this should have gone to a developers forum. I don't know where that is.
