We don't use SEND= EDITOR, but instead SEND=PRIVATE with all subscribers SET to NOPOST except authorized posters who are then to REVIEW. Those particular subscribers are both MODERATORS= and EDITORS= and thus their distributions are processed by the "OK" (or click on URL) mechanism among the multiple moderators (ALL). MAILTPL has also been updated to suppress auto-responses from non-authorized posters. This "works" just fine except when a problematic distribution is returned by a broken MTA (or MUA) back to the list. Because [?] the APPROVED header is already present from the first go-round, LISTSERV things it's OK to re-process (assuming that it is not caught by the duplicate mail processing). /Pete At 16:02 10/24/2003 Friday, Elder, Van S wrote: >I may be way off from what you're asking here, but in the "send=" setting, >do you have the "confirm" option set?
