Doug's saying that you don't have to supply the entire pathname to the
restrict_post files if the files are in the same directory as your list
files, i.e. the value of $listdir (from majordomo.cf). Also worthy of
note is that the value of restrict_post can specify more than 1 file by
separating the file names with colons or tabs. For example, in your
list.config file:

restrict_post = list1:list1-digest

to use both the list1 file and its digest list, list1-digest.
