Re: [cobalt-users] One-Way list - raq4

["Linuxman" <linuxman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have tried that, but there is one problem. When I change members of the
list via the GUI, restrict_post =
gets changed automatically from the list I made of authorized senders to the
name of the list I edit via the GUI.

Have you seen this before?

I suppose I can chmod the file to prevent the system from modifying the
file, but if I do, what should I change it to that will not interfere with
normal operation of the list?
