Hi Maurice,
The reason I have so many messages posted in the majordomo-users
list is because I am not bogged down trying to do private tech
support or consulting via direct email. There, you have had your
proverbial slap on the wrist for asking a list related question
privately.
To answer your question, publicly, no. You can not use the
restrict_post feature on a domain by domain basis without rewriting
majordomo perl code. If you are unable or prefer not to code, you
might consider providing university administration a unique-alias
to write to (another majordomo list) which will redistribute the
message from the owner-unique-alias@domain.edu to the list you want
to protect. Then in the .config file for that list, enable the
restrict_post feature pointing to a file containing one line;
owner-unique-alias@domain.edu.
