Hi,

	I want to set up a mailing list - but not a discussion
list. For instance, I want to be able to tell people that
the server will be going down for maintenance at 3:00 am...
but I dont want other people to be able to reply to the same
address and send their message to all the subscribers.

	I thought of two ways around this:

1) moderate the list. that's no good cause then the
moderator would have to get lots of email from majordomo
itself about "approval", and it would be hard to ignore them
because they may be legitimate "subscribe" or "unsubscribe"
requests. (etcetera) Am I right? (or would making the
subscribe policy "open" fix that?)

2) make the "reply to" address different from the list. That
doesn't seem very good, because people want to be able to
"unsubscribe" by hitting "reply"


	Does anyone have a better solution as to how to set up a
"one way" mailing list?

	I'm sure it's obvious, but, uh, ... I seem to be suffering
majordomo brain drain!

	Thanks anyone!
