This technique is useful in the management of organizational lists (been there ... done that) -
A common list-owners list this is used to indirectly reference a common set of lists' owners so that
when the common lists' owners change, each individual list need not be updated, just the common list e.g.
Call list C, th list of related lists' owners composed of the following subscribers:
address1@host1
address2@host2
address3@host1
Further, define list headers for lists X, Y, Z
OWNERS= (c)
We make extensive use of this technique. We use the same technique to define common sets of list editors (people who can post, not people who moderate).
Thus when an owner is added (or removed) for lists X, Y, Z, only the subscriber(s) from list C must be
altered.
We use this technique to provide our permanent full-time Help Desk staff with owner-level access to most lists hosted on our LISTSERV servers (2 servers, ~50K lists). This makes it much easier for Help Desk staff to provide assistance to list owners. The Help Desk staff has been instructed to "look but don't touch" without the list owner's explicit knowledge and permission.
