A more general solution, which I use, is to have a file called alternates,
in which you put any alternate addresses people use for posting.
Mungedomain cannot possibly handle a user who also posts from their aol
account, for example. Then restrict_post looks like:
restrict_post = fortility:alternates
If you have a digest version, you'll want that there too. I keep alternates
in the lists directory, which is where majordomo looks (which makes it a
real list, for whatever that's worth).
For my own convenience, I use the following format in alternates:
alternate@address (listname subscribed@address)
This makes restrict_post practical, and it sure keeps the spam away....
