Yes, absolutely. Why would anyone use a file for restrict_post that
couldn't be managed? (Every few weeks somebody on majordomo-users
whines about this. I just don't get it. Noadvertise has been around
quite a while, and closed has been around from the beginning.... OK,
OK, I'm being a smart-aleck know-it-all :-)
Actually, for every list I set up I create both listname-owner and
listname-post.
For semi-moderated lists I actually use:
restrict_post=listname-owner:listname-post
I just didn't mention listname-owner in the original message since
it's the same issue. Normal lists, of course, get
restrict_post=listname:listname-digest:listname-owner:listname-post
That's how I found that writeconfig 1.94 was line-length limited :-)
