[I've read the list owner's manual but need the benefit of your experience ...] We have a broadcast-only (1-way) announcement list (1x/day) which is "tightly" controlled. The content developer is the owner and editor. She produces and posts the content to the list and "confirms" the moderated announcement, though there may be an occasional need for other authorized content producers to post. Those posters are allowed (but are not required) to be list-owners. Nevetheless due to the inherent delays of the process, she would like there to be multiple approvers for each announcement, *any* of whom could do the OK to the confirmation, including the authorized poster. Ideally non-authorized posters would "bounce" and not be sent to the approvers. LISTSERV is 1.8d My thinking is that: SEND= PRIVATE DEFAULT-OPTIONS= NOPOST,REVIEW EDITOR= primary_poster,secondary_posters MODERATORS= ALL,primary_poster,secondary_posters SET listname POST FOR primary_poster SET listname POST FOR secondary_posters Thus authorized posters would be in REVIEW mode and sent to all moderators, any of whom could approve.
