The message sent to a subscriber who attempts to submit a note to a list which has SEND= Owner begins: "You are not authorized to mail to list XXXXXX from your [log in to unmask] account. You might be authorized to post to the list from another of your accounts or under a slightly different address,..." This doesn't seem to be the most appropriate message to send. Although it is true that XXXXXX is not authorized, it would be better to be more direct, in this special case, and say that only the (Owner) is permitted to post messages to list XXXXXX, so that the subscriber doesn't wonder under what other userid@host he/she might have subscribed to XXXXXX. I didn't find this message in DEFAULT MAILTPL, so I comment here. Solutions? Peter
