>Is there any way to make sure mail commands (such as nomail, digest, >unsubscribe, etc) do not get posted to the list address? The only way that I know that is bullet-proof is full moderation. Less restrictive is putting a bottom_banner (using the template feature) but even that does not seem to always "register" on the read-only RAM of the users. Since you are using the TOPICS= feature, it might help if you do a QUIET SET RW-L TOPICS -OTHER FOR *@* Most folks mailing LISTSERV commands to the list probably would not using one of the valid topics and thus would be in the category of OTHER. >Even though I have told people time and time again to send their commands >to the listserv and not the list address, sigh, there are always those who >can't seem to follow directions.

Probably the closest method is * VALIDATE= YES and even that isn't bullet-proff. You might have to using * EXIT= processing (an area that I know nothing about). VALIDATE= and EXIT= are better described in the output of a LISTSERV command INFO KEYW /Pete Weiss at Penn State
