The last part of the FAQ entry under the line reading "The work-around for 
this is to setup a script that builds a Mega-list out of other lists on 
your server" is why I pointed you at that FAQ entry. What you want to do is 
going to be a problem with umbrella lists whereas he synthesised superior 
list may give you the flexibility you want on the posting front. You may 
have to edit the script presented source code but it is a start.It may not 
be that elegant but other subscribers to mailman-users are said to swear by 
it. Just a thought.
