Re: sender allowed to post but not in recipient

Or to get to the original (I think) plan to allow posters ONLY and not 
have the list members able to send:

    restrict_post: LISTNAME-posters

Now ONLY those on the LISTNAME-posters list can send (post) to the 
LISTNAME list. And the LISTNAME-posters is remotely managable.
