This is an example of expecting technology to enforce a policy issue. To the extent that the policy issue deals with general users (e.g. a password change program that enforces password complexity requirements), this is reasonable. But it is also reasonable to assume (and demand) that List Owners are an experienced professional group capable of understanding and following site policy requirements. So open a dialog with your List Owners and inform them of the site's policies. Then you do not have to wait for software to fix this policy problem, or the next one that happens along. You can always remove an owner that refuses to follow them. If there is only one owner, find another one or change it to a site admin and HOLD the list. In such a case, you might recruit from the list's subscribers, or at least notify them that the list is being disabled due to Owner Misconduct. -----Original Message----- From: David Rosenthal D.O.

(i.e. could you add another section to $SITE$.MAILTPL which would be appended to whatever bottom_banner the list owner created, perhaps a bottom_banner2 or a bottom_banner_sitewide) -- David Rosenthal, D.O.
