Hi Lumir

Thanks for the reply. I gave your suggestion a try but found I had the same
situation. Perhaps I am missing something here. I am working with a mailing
list named "test" on a RaQ 4i. I then made a file test.post and placed in it
the email address of the person I want to allow to send to the list. I then
edited the test.config file for the mailing list and made restrict_post =
test.post instead of just test

This does restrict the sender to only those in the file test.post (I only
had one address in it) but as soon as I make a change in the GUI (add or
remove someone to/from the mailing list) the test.config file (the mailing
list is named test) changes back so that restrict_post = test again - the
file that contains the list of people on the list. Am I missing something
else I should be doing?

Thanks - Arthur
