I have a question on this, also in conjunction with a later post of yours in which you wrote: >* Send= Editor,Hold >* Editor= whoever is the primary editor >* Editor= (listname) (where "listname" is the name of the list) > >This will allow the primary editor and all members of "listname" to post >directly to the list, while non-subscriber mail will be forwarded to the >primary editor for approval (rather than being rejected). Now, what would the following combination do?: * Send= Editor,Hold,Confirm * Editor= whoever is the primary editor * Editor= (listname) (where "listname" is the name of the list) Would this require *everyone* on the list to OK their posts? Or me (primary editor) to OK everyone's posts? Or just me to OK my own posts (as well as those from non-subscribers)? Also, is it equivalent to combine the last two lines?: * Editor= whoever is the primary editor,(listname) Thanks in advance. Cheers, Stan Ryckman ([log in to unmask])
