If the person is not a 'subscriber', he/she will not receive messages. If the person is a subscriber, but is defined as 'NOMAIL', then he/she will not receive messages. If the mailing-list is defined as 'SEND=PUBLIC', then anybody can post to the list, even a non-subscriber. If the mailing-list is defined as 'SEND=PRIVATE', then only subscribers & editors & owners can post to the list. However, from a 'S E C U R I T Y' point-of view, are you sure(!) that you want to grant 'OWNER' privileges to them, i.e., the ability to update the header, to, for example, remove the string 'Owner= [log in to unmask], and to insert their own ID as the "primary" owner? Granting 'EDITOR' privileges will allow them to "post", but will not allow them to "modify" the list-definition. To me, that sounds more secure.
