As the local site administrator, I own a list with a configuration that includes a statement granting ownership privileges to list subscribers, as in Pete's example above. When a list owner needs a place to "play" with various list configuration options, either as a learning exercise or to test potential changes for an existing list, I instruct that individual to subscribe to my "list owner's playground" list. After I approve the subscription request, the new subscriber can make changes to the list configuration and test the impact without affecting the operation of a "real" list. When he/she is done testing, he/she can simply signoff. -- Paul Russell Senior Systems Administrator OIT Messaging Services Team University of Notre Dame
