Q. I'm runninng my lists with restrict_post and have a list.config entry
like:

  restrict_post:  list list-digest list-posters

where list-posters is a list of alternate IDs for list subscribers.

I'd like to be able to maintain the list-posters file via EMail. How can
I do
that?

A. Create another list for list-posters. Make the list closed and not
advertised. Set up your list-posters aliases like:

  list-posters:nobody
  list-posters-approval:nobody
  owner-list-posters:nobody

(where nobody is /dev/null)

Then you can do

 approve list.passwd subscribe list-posters someone@somewhere.com

to maintain the alternate subscriber information.
