I wrote the list asking why NOREPRO wouldn't work with a super-list. Ben Parker <[log in to unmask]> responded with: > If you are subscribed to the list, the options you have set will be > followed. If you are not subscribed to the list (as in your user who is not > subscribed to SLIST but does send a post to it) then the default-options for > that list apply (remember, if not specified, they are NOREPRO). So, REPRO > and ACK are not 'honored' by the SLIST even if set for some sub-list(s). This sounded good -- all I needed was to add the Default-options= keyword to my superlist SLIST -- but I went to it and found that it already had Default-options= REPRO. In my list that works right, the list is self-moderated. In the list that does not work right, only editors may post. Might this be related? Here are possibly relevant portions of list headers: PUT SLIST LIST PW=XXXXXXXX * Owner= Owner(ANOTHER_LIST) * Send= Editor,Hold * Editor= [log in to unmask] * Editor= [log in to unmask] * Editor= [log in to unmask] * Editor= [log in to unmask] * Editor= [log in to unmask] * Default-Options= NoFiles,Repro * Sub-lists=LISTA,LISTB PUT SLIST2 LIST PW=XXXXXXXX * Owner= Owner(ANOTHER_LIST) * Send= Editor,Hold * Editor= [log in to unmask] * Editor= (LISTA),(LISTB),(LISTC) * Default-Options= NoFiles,Repro * Sub-lists= LISTA,LISTB,LISTC PUT LISTA LIST PW=XXXXXXXX * Default-Options= NoFiles,Repro PUT ANOTHER_LIST LIST PW=XXXXXXXX * Default-Options= NoFiles,Repro Thanks, Steve -- Stephen W.
