I set up the "minimalist" port for a small list last year.  Small & very ea=
sy to config.  I think it has the restriction you want.

The majordomo and mailman were a bit more than what I was looking for.  The=
 minimalist port does look like it does exactly what I'm looking for, but I=
'm having an issue getting it configured.

My minimalist port seems to have been installed in '/usr/local/share/minima=
list' and the config file appears to be in '/usr/local/etc/minimalist.conf'=
.  All files are under the '/usr/local/share' folder except the minimalist.=
conf in '/usr/local/etc'

I have set the directory directive to '/usr/local/share/minimalist' in the =
'/usr/local/etc/minimalist.conf' and created my list directories under ther=
e, but I am not able to see it when I send 'info' message to 'minimalist@do=
main.com'.

reply from server for email with 'info' as subject:
These are the mailing lists available at email.domain.com:

--=20
Sincerely, the Minimalist


under /usr/local/share/minimalist:

My list.lst file has:
farm        The Farm mailing list.
south        Mailing list for Southern area.

I have the farm and south directories with a very short list file:
list:
ric@domain.com =20
brad@domain.com

my /usr/local/etc/minimalist.conf (only non-commented lines)
minimalist.conf
directory =3D /usr/local/share/minimalist
password =3D 12345
admin =3D brad@domain.com
auth =3D mailfrom brad@domain.com:@/usr/local/etc/mml.trusted


Any ideas where I might be going wrong?  The mechanism seems to be working,=
 as I can send messages to 'minimalist' and get info, but its not seeing my=
 lists.

Thanks
