I apologize for being unclear.

Right now I have subscribers that can issue commands to the list by emailing
[log in to unmask] They post messages to [log in to unmask] For
example, if a subscriber wants to change their format to digest they send  a
SET LISTNAME DIGEST command. If they want to get a list of available archive
files they send an "INDEX LISTNAME" command. And so on.

I want to remove the ability of subscribers to issue commands to the list
server. Once this is done, they should be able to do two things: 1. post
messages 2. receive messages.

Thanks,
-Mike

What you actually wish to achieve is not entirely clear.  You may get
more useful responses if you elaborate on the problem you are
experiencing.

For example, are messages that SHOULD have been sent to the "command
interface" (such as subscribe or signoff) being distributed to the list
population?  Or do you wish to block the processing of such commands?

Hello,
 
Is there a way I can prevent subscribers from issuing commands to the
list altogether? I simply want subscribers to be able to post messages
and nothing else. Is that possible?
 
Thanks,
