Um, set Ack= Yes (so the nonreaders will know their items have been distributed, needn't change the Default-option as that applies only to subscribers) and set Send= Public . That might do it without changing anything else. Sort of an odd setup, and does leave you open to spam, but would work (to minimize spam use Conceal= Yes which will 'hide' your entire list, a diferent conceal from the conceal for hiding a subscription, which can't be done where the listowner is concerned). A more secure way might be Send= editor Editor= youraddress,(listname) but there all the items from the nonsubscribers will be routed to you for approval. Douglas > Sorry.
