Friends,
I've looked in the (beta 1.8c version of the) manual, I've done searches
on the archives and yet I can't find an answer to something that *must*
have been discussed on the list before. Finally, I need to add to
the traffic.
Is there a MAILTPL entry available to modify the message given when
the list is configured for "Send= Private" and a posting is sent
from a non-subscriber's e-mail address?
I found SUB_CLOSED, SUB_OWNER and POST_OWNER, but I don't find
POST_PRIVATE (or something equivalent). I know there are possible
entries documented in the manual which aren't found in DEFAULT
MAILTPL, and , I believe, other, non-documented entries which have
been discussed on LSTOWN-L and LSTSRV-L. Is this a message that is
unmodifiable (until some later release, perhaps)?
= == The message, in brief: ===================================
From: "L-Soft list server at ISC Classlists (1.8b)" <[log in to unmask]>
Subject: Rejected posting to [log in to unmask]
You are not authorized to send mail to the XXXXX list from your
[log in to unmask] account. You might be authorized to send to the list
from another of your accounts, or perhaps when using another mail program which
generates slightly different addresses, but LISTSERV has no way to associate
[snip]
= == End of the message, in brief ===============================
Incidentally (for Pete Weiss's amusement :-) I used the following
searches, and retrieved selectively from the rather long indexes that
resulted, without finding a POST_PRIVATE equivalent:
> s message private in lstown-l
> s * in lstown-l where subject contains ( mailtpl or template )
> s * in lstown-l where subject contains ( mailtpl or template )
(and, I believe)
> s 'not authorized' in lstown-l
Thanks for any help.
En paz,
Steve

The only safe choice: Write e-mail as if it's public. Cuz it could be.
