Hi there- I am sure that if I were resourceful enough, I might figure this out from the archive, but list admin is only a small part of my job, and I am totally swamped today with other issues. I have tried before to set up a moderated list, but the moderators don't like it because they want to divvy it up by timeframe, not by how many moderators there are. We are distributed, personnel-wise, and therefore want to be able to control things by time-zone and availability. Here is my question: if I have say, 6 moderators, and I have the config set to moderators= all, name1, name2, name3, etc., if a moderator sets himself to NOMAIL, will that prevent administrative posting-approval email as well as listmail form being sent to them? I am hoping this would work, because that will solve all my problems. That way, they can manage their schedule themselves by merely setting themselves to nomail/mail accordingly, and I never have to deal with the issue again. Thank you in advance, and I apologize for admittedly not doing the hard research before posting. I usually do, but I'm in a bind today.
