Sorry. And yes, you have stated exactly the behaviour I seek. I want multiple posters to be able to post freely, but have zero access to the archive. Then there are five or six people who need to be able to post and read the archive at will. Thank you for your assistance! here's the header: Subscription= By_owner Ack= No Confidential= Yes Validate= Yes,Confirm Reply-to= List,Ignore Review= Owners Default-Options= SUBJ, REPRO, NODIGEST, NOINDEX, NOACK Send= Private Errors-To= Owner Owner= [log in to unmask] Notebook= Yes,c:\archives,Monthly,Private -----Original Message----- From: Winship [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2001 5:43 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Trying to set certain people to post but not read On Wed, 28 Mar 2001, Shannon Ahern Ikeda wrote: > I have a private, internal company list.

For example, I would assume you don't want these "managers" to be able to read the list at all, but still be able to post? Is that correct? There are several ways to do that but which might be best would depend on how you want the list to work. The pertinent parts of you list header would be useful in determing that, also a more full explanation of exactly who you want to be able to see what. Douglas
