I think I know the answer to this question but I'm hoping I'm wrong. I have a list that is composed of a few individual members and another nested list. (i.e. asmt-l is a member of asmt-vp-l) I have send=private, but I would like the members of asmt-l to be able to post to asmt-vp-l. The posts are rejected with a "you are not authorized to send mail to the asmt-vp-l list from [this account]..." error. I'm assuming that's because, even though the user IS a member of the asmt-vp-l list by virtue of being a member of the asmt-l list, LISTSERV only checks the e-mail address of the non-nested members, not the e-mail addresses of people who are members of a list that is a member. This makes sense - LISTSERV has no real way of telling whether a subscribed address belongs to a user or a list. I haven't found a way of telling it to "expand" the nested list to see if the person wishing to post is a member of that list, and therefore legal. Am I missing something, or am I stuck with this? Maybe nesting lists is only valuable for announcement lists, not discussion lists.
