Disabling delivery

Disabling delivery

[Kovács István]

Hi,

I have some users who want to be able to send mail to the list, but
not receive others' posts. In mailman, there's an option to disable
delivery. I know it's also possible with ezmlm (don't know how, I only
used it via a custom web interface).

Can the access control rules override the "subonlypost" tunable? I
could then list those few antisocial users there :-)

TIA,
Kofa

I only use the command line interface, so don't know if it is available 
in the web interface.  From the command line, it's quite obvious (see 
*'d line):

# /usr/bin/mlmmj-sub -h
Usage: /usr/bin/mlmmj-sub -L /path/to/list -a john@doe.org [-c] [-C] [-h]
       [-L] [-d | -n] [-s] [-U] [-V]
 -a: Email address to subscribe
 -c: Send welcome mail
 -C: Request mail confirmation
 -d: Subscribe to digest of list
 -h: This help
 -L: Full path to list directory
** -n: Subscribe to no mail version of list  **
 -s: Don't send a mail to the subscriber if already subscribed
 -U: Don't switch to the user id of the listdir owner
 -V: Print version
When no options are specified, subscription silently happens

Just have them subscribe to the -nomail version of the list. That one is
meant for people to be subscribers to the list, but not recieve (sic! ;)
any mails. Meant mainly for people being subscribed to a subonlypost
list but also wanting to be able to post from another address.
