I believe you can solve your problem by changing: Validate= Yes to Validate= Yes,Confirm or Validate= All,Confirm For a detailed discussion of the Validate= statement and its operands, see <http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/1.8d/owner/appendb.html#keyValidate>. If the list is explicitly configured to allow only editors to post, there is no need to use "set ... nopost for *@*". -- Paul Russell Senior System Administrator University of Notre Dame
