Yesterday I posted a question about using a list to own a list, where the
owning list was bouncing posts from the owned list because of embedded
commands. Roger Klorese provided the correct answer to use the
"administrivia" switch, which works great for me.
A different problem has arisen. I would like the owning list to be closed
to posting, except from the people on the list. So I set restrict_post to
the list. I quickly discovered that I needed to add
"majordomo@mydomain.com" to the allowed posters so that the admin posts
from majordomo would get through. That's fine.
What's left is that now when I get a bounce message (e.g. from a member of
the owned list whose mailbox is full), the bounce message is sent to
owner-ownedlist, which of course is the owning list. The owning lists
reject the posting of the bounced message because it comes originally from
somebody not on the restrict_post list - usually
MAILER-DAEMON@somewhere.com. Naturally I can't anticipate all of the
places that somewhere.com might be and add them to the restrict_post list.
Is there another trick to let the bounce messages be forwarded to the
administrative list without opening the administrative list to all posters?
Thank you for the great answers I received to my earlier questions, and
thank you for any help with this one.
