Re: [Mailman-Users] newsletter with mailman

All you need to do is set all users to 'moderated', set the reply-to to you (not the list or the poster), and disable posting by moderated users. You can join the list and turn off moderation for your self OR add you E-Mail address to the list of non-members that can post to the list.
All of this can be done with the web interface.

This method of posting to a 'newsletter' list is insecure. Any list member who sees the address that posts are From: and wants to post can just spoof that From: address in his own post. Also, random spam From: the authorized address and To: the list will be accepted.
The secure method is to leave everyone moderated and post with an Approved: header as discussed in the FAQs at <http://wiki.list.org/x/3YA9> and <http://wiki.list.org/x/XIA9>.
