If you're using procmail, it's easy...just whitelist the group you want
first.

Yeah, probably not.  :-)   But it was just an example.

No, the web UI is not the only way.  Like I said, for the JStrack list,
and a homebrew club list before that (which died, as most would prefer
to just enter everyone's e-mail rather than send to a list...don't ask)
has/had the web UI turned off---the ONLY way being the e-mail option
(to listn...@groups.google.com).

Yahoo's list is handled by a listserv?  I thought it was just another
non-listserv excuse for a listserv.  Hmmmm.  Oh well, too late now,
anyways.

Thanks for the info, anyways....
