I think this is working as designed, but the documentation is not as clear as I would like. The question involves access levels and super lists. I have a super list, call it SUPER-L, that has sub-lists SUB1-L and SUB2-l, plus it has members directly subscribed to it. The SUPER-L list has Send=Editor,hold Editor= user@node,(SUPER-L),(OTHER-L) sub-lists= SUB1-L,SUB2-L The doc defines: Editor= net-address1,net-address2|access-level1,... and under access-level is this type (listname) Only the subscribers of the named list have access to the information. Email from people directly subscribed to SUPER-L are immediately sent and not modertated, but email from people subscribed via one of the SUBx-L lists are moderated. Since the people are not directly subscribed to the "named" list, but to a sub-list, I suspect that this is the reason, but is it the desired result? /ahw
