>Does the same hold true substituting "list owner" for "users" in the >above? Yes. Basically, what will NOT work is postmasters (who probably won't want to send commands via mail anyway, since this requires password validation) and all the other similar configuration file variables like privileged mail forwarding users, etc. There would be too many places in the code to change, and potential problems in case of troubles - the postmaster list is ALSO an "emergency bosses" list. It works for users, owners, NAD's, list editors, FAC codes, and DISTRIBUTE/best peer placement. I haven't found any satisfactory way to make it work for the support of the LOCAL variable in mail distribution with "Mail-via= DIRECT" and non-BSMTP headers - I mean, I know how to write the code but the performance impact would be too much, I prefer to keep it the way it is now. Unfortunately I lost friday-monday on a hardware disk problem (as you might have seen on LINKFAIL), and today on a series of meetings. I guess I have 2-3 days of work left. Eric
