Is it a correct statement that if you have nested lists, the sub-lists MUST be open-posting to allow the umbrella list to post to it?
Say I have a list called dave-test which includes both user addresses and names of one or more sublists. I thought I'd simply be able to add under privacy-options in sublist "Addresses of members accepted for posting to this list without implicit approval requirement". But that didn't seem to work. What is the format? Is it dave-test@host.domain? dave-test\@host\.domain?
What can the "Alias names (regexps)" be used for?
Thanks

If joe@blow.com sends a note to dave-test then dave-test will send that note onto the sublists. The sublists will see a note from joe@blow.com
If joe@blow.com is in "Addresses of members accepted for posting" then the note will go through without moderation (if you have it setup that way...)
Having dave-test as an "Addresses of members accepted for posting" is not going to help joe@blow.com send mail to the sublist.
There isn't field in the 2.0.x series that does exactly what you want. You want the opposite of the feature "Hold posts with header value matching a specified regexp". You want to allow posts with header value: List-Post: <mailto:dave-test@dom.ain>
Of course this would be fairly easy to program in, if you wanted to modify the source. I would estimate that a Former Rocket Scientiest could do it in about 4 hours!
On the otherhand, you could try out the feature "Hide the sender of a message, replacing it with the list address (Removes From, Sender and Reply-To fields)" on the dave-test list. Then see if the dave-test sublists interpret that correctly as being From: dave-test@dom.ain
Good Luck -- Jon Carnes
