I have a list where only Editors may post, other need approval.
I've set it as follows:

Send= Editor,hold

and then I have a number of Editor= lines, so that the machines that
post autonotices (it is the distribution list for our trouble-ticket
system) to it.  I had one of the machines (that due to severe brain- 
death in its  administrators does  not accept replies,  there is not 
even a MX record or A record for it.   That is The Phone Company for 
you) can post directly, and not need approval. This works as long as 
the machines  do not change their From:  address without telling us. 
Then, in theory, postings go to the Editor= who can approve them.

I had one of the machines as the first Editor= like so:

Editor= [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask]

Suddenly they changed their From: which did indeed trigger a posting
to the Editor= with a request for approval.  But,  only to the FIRST
email address. Which is a machine. That does not accept mail.

My question:  Is it as should bem that only the first address on the
Editor= line that should get the approvals? Why have several Editors
then? Is this documented?  Can it be adjusted? Oh, btw; I'm on 1.8d.
