Hi,

I recall reading of an "always bounce-post status patch." 

Less than 45 days ago a perons on majordomo-users posted a patch that he 
had made for MJ. It allowed for a special text file to hold a list of 
addresses. These addresses had their email messages always set to bounce 
to the list-owner whenever they tried to make a post to the list. Then 
the list-owner could approve the message or not -- before the list 
subscribers at large. As a list-owner - one huge benefit was to only need 
to approve messages from those in that file -- and not everyone else.

This looks like the exact thing you are looking for. I think that the 
code/patch was posted to the whole list. That thread was short -- and you 
might search the archives for "fired" as it was done I think for a 
recently fired employee who may have wanted to pick a bone with some on 
the list in public. 

Good luck in finding it. Better luck in running it. Please post a 
follow-up message if you are successful as I'd like to use the same thing 
-- but I've yet to do the whole patch thing. 


>Actually, with a little investment in learning procmail,

Where/what are the best learing resources (other than the code itself and 
trial/error) for procmail?

Well, let's not stop there with procmail. What/where are the best 
resources (learning and interaction such as this list) for the following?

Sendmail:

Procmail:

UNIX OS:

Shell Scripts:

PERL:

Regular Expressions:


If you send your pointers to me, I'll conbine them all into a newbie's 
FAQ.
