Fred, this mail reflector doesn't work the same way as a Yahoo group. A Yahoo
or Google group is web-based, and all the message content resides on a web
server. The content can also be emailed out to members if they choose. But
because it's based on a server, a message can be deleted -- though the people
who already received it via email have it, and it can't be "recalled."
A mail reflector like this one is run strictly using POP3 email protocol. This
is a dynamic protocol in that the server doesn't keep a copy of the messages
it gets; it receives them and promptly sends them back out to the subscribers,
just like a repeater. There is no permanent server record of the messages.

lists? (ex - yahoo groups)?
I believe this list is run on Mailman...and as such there is no way
to "take back" a post....since as soon as you send it to the list, it
goes back out...unless the list owner has set the list up to require
his or her approval of every message, or only moderate certain list
members.

do this, on this list?
As far as I know, it can't be done.
