Hi all...
The only way I could get it to work properly was like this:


# noadvertise          [regexp_array] (undef) <majordomo>
   # If the requestor name matches one of these regexps, then the list
   # will not be listed in the output of a lists command.
   # Noadvertise overrides advertise.
   noadvertise         =         <<  END
   /./
   END


I dunno if thats how its supposed to be, but it seems to work...
