Hi,
The restrict_post setting of your listname.config file is supposed to
reference a file, not an email address. Multiple files can be listed
(on the same line only) by using space or colon [ :] separators. The
only time this filename must be fully qualified is when you do not keep
it in the $listdir defined in majordomo.cf. For example, if I want to
allow subscribers and a group of non-subscribers listed in a file called
/var/lib/majordomo/lists/listname-allowed-to-send, my restrict_post would
look like this;
restrict_post = pricelist:pricelist-allowedtosend
To prevent avv@salesint.com from posting, make sure the address does not
exist in either file. If you "do" want avv@salesint.com to post to the
pricelist mailing list, add that address to either pricelist or pricelist-
allowedtosend.
The key is to make sure avv@salesint.com knows they can only send plain
text messages to the mailing list. Outlook, Communicator, Eudora, AOL, and
others default to sending rich text or HTML formatted messages. This
might be why messages are not getting through.
