     My mailer has been having problems.  Just got it fixed.  I'll
repost my question.  Maybe I'll even see an answer this time.

     Hi,

     I'm running Majordomo 1.94.4 on DU 4.0C.  Just upgraded to it.
Several items in the .config files have changed I see.  Most things
work but I running into a problem writing new configs with the
newconfig command.  

     I had been using the restrict_post parameter for the obvious
reasons.  I had been setting it to the list itself thus restricting
posts to members only.  Now, when I try to newconfig out a new
configuration file I get errors like the following.

The new config file for test was NOT accepted because:
Can't find restrict_post file /usr/majordomo-1.94.4/lists/test.new at line 388

Where test in this case was the name of a test list.  Same kind of
thing hagppens for any list.  Now I see that many of the user level
commands have had the list restriction put on the which is good.  But
I still need to restrict posts to list members only.  Does anyone know
where this error is comming from, how it might be circumvented, or another 
way to restrict posts to members only without resorting to
moderation?

     Help appreciated.  Thanks.
