Thanks. That 'restrict_post' setting is what I need to change. I've edited
my config files before so that won't be a problem.
I don't really want to bother my ISP's system admin to edit that file on
the mail server for me. He's done a lot for me over the years I've been a
customer, so I only bother him if I really need to. Is there any way I can
restrict posts without having to edit a file on the mail server? If not I
will continue to just password protect the lists which is cumbersome for
several reasons.
