Thanks karl, that sounds fine to me.  I was just not sure what was going on, but I had not considered the bounce spam problem.  I'll set it back now if it is not already.

Hi Chris,

Sorry for the confusion.  I surmise that I and the other volunteer list helpers just saw the occasional pending message and let them through, seeing previous such mail in the archives, or something.  We certainly won't do that any more.  It's true that people cannot add themselves to accept_these_nonmembers, so don't worry about that.

I changed the list's Reply-To: address and added your description on the General Options page.

I see you changed the list to reject mail from both members and non-members.  Rejecting mail from members is fine, but from non-members is a problem, because lots of spam is forged, and sending a reply to that just causes more "spam" (from the point of view of the person whose address was forged).  Will you accept changing that back to hold?

I'm very sorry for the confusion.

Best,
Karl

Hello,

It seems I have not set something up properly for the info-nano list; namely it seems people are somehow allowed to register to post to the list, when I expect the list to be like an announcement list where only developers can post announcements.  Looking at it it seems that people are adding themselves to "List of non-member addresses whose postings should be automatically accepted" somehow, but how they are doing that is not obvious.  How can I restrict all but a few people from being able to post to that list?  TIA
