As far as I can tell, if I have a list caled "mylist" and I set

   restrict_post     = mylist_admin-only

then _ONLY_ the addresses in the file mylist_admin-only can post. 
People with addresses in the mylist subscriber list file cannot post 
unless they are also in mylist_admin-only.

Correct?

I have a "list" which is the combined subscriber base of a bunch of 
other related lists. I want to be able, occasionally, as admin, to 
send an administrative note to  everyone in all the lists, just once 
per person. And I don't want _anybody_ else to be able to send mail 
to that list.  Whether they are "siubscribed" to it or not.

The list is re-genned once a day via cron.  It cannot be subscribed 
to or unsubscribed from and I want it locked down as tightly as 
possible.

Is restrict_post going to do what I want?
