OK, I have set up the list [EMAIL PROTECTED]
which uses tmda. Here is what happens when you post a message to the list: if you are a subscriber, it just lets you post if you are not a subscriber, it will ask you for a confirmation, and when you confirm, your message gets posted _and_ your address is automatically added to a whitelist. This means that from that point on, you can post messages without confirmation. Those who want to test it: 1) Subscribe to the list. This means send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Unix, just run echo | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Once you confirmed your subscription 2) Send a message to the list; on Unix echo test1 | mail -s test1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] You (and all other subscribers) should receive your post without problems. 3) Now unsub from the list: echo | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Once you confirmed your unsubscription 4) Send a message to the list echo test2 | mail -s test2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] You should get a confirmation request from TMDA. Once you confirm, you should get a notification that your message has been delivered to the list. 5) Now send a message to the list again: echo test3 | mail -s test3 [EMAIL PROTECTED] You should not get any messages since your address is now whitelisted---but of course the subscribers can read your message.
