Hi all,

I am trying to do the following things:

* I want the list to be moderated, and only want someone@somehere
  to be allowed to post articles to the mailing list.  I changed
  "moderated = no" to "moderate = yes" in listname.config.  It does
  sends the orignal mail back to the sender with a subject saying
  "Approval Required".  Where do I specify who can post to the mailing
  list?

* I have this experimental list, I defined myself as the listowner.
  Now, I want another person to be the listowner too.  So, I defined
  the following aliases in /etc/aliases, but they never worked.  I keep
  getting "approval" requests for subscription and unsubscription; and
  errors related to the mailing list to my address only.  There is a
  section in the README file and I tried to follow it, but I guess I
  didn't set it up correctly.

I'll appreciate any help.  Thanks!

"test-owners" is the name of the file where I stored 2 email address, and
it's lying in /usr/local/majordomo/lists/ directory.
