> i was inquiring about requests for approval for messages sent > from non-subscribers for distribution. > specifically, MLA-L has been set so that send is private to subscribers. > MLA-L is also gatewayed to USENET. any message sent from a usenet You have Send=Private and I assume you have the usenet gateway set to review. You have no editor= equal, so yes, the items for approval should go only to the first listed, nonquiet owner. You could try putting in an Editors= owner1@node1,owner2@node line. Making it it editors rather than editor *might* cause it to go to both addresses, don't know, don't think so, but you could try it. Both of you have multiple addresses, so here's something LISTSERV independent you could do: use one of you accounts, or get a new one, specifically for handling the approvals. You both have access. Change the header to Send= Editor Editor=newaccount@node,(MLA-L) and you'll both have access to the items pending approval whenever you like, in case the idea is you want to switch back and forth without constantly changing the header.
