You can use Majordomo, and set the parameter `restrict_post' in `listname.config': restrict_post = listname.allowed where `listname.allowed' is a file containing addresses from which messages to the list will be accepted. In addition, you may want to configure `/etc/mail/virtualusertable' as in Majordomo FAQ 3.6, http://www.greatcircle.com/majordomo/majordomo-faq.html#3.6 HTH, Raghavendra. -- N.
