The restrict_post directive expects a file name. Create a text file called "newsposter" (or whatever) in your lists directory, containing the e-mail address(es) of the person(s) allowed to post to the list (one address per line if multiple addresses). Change your restrict_post directive to: restrict_post = newsposter -- Chip Old (Francis E.
