Right. That's why I'm not suggesting a bi-directional gateway (not in the traditional sense of the word). I'm suggesting a moderated group where postings that would normally go to the "moderator" directly to the mailing list. The gateway is still unidirectional: mail->news. Right now, people who read the newsgroup have no idea that their postings aren't seen by the mailing list readers. [Perhaps I'm the only one who does it, but I repeatedly start to post follow-ups only to have to save the article and mail-it later.] Maybe there's a way to configure slrn to e-mail postings to specific groups to certain addresses... -- Grant Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
