Dear courier users, I am trying to get the moderation side of couriermlm working. If I use POST=all
everything seams OK. If I use POST=subscribers or POST=mod the subscribed user michael gets a reply
basically saying that he is not subscribed

Sorry to be so verbose - but set out below is basically step by step on how i
set it up. This may help you determine how or where I stuffed up.

couriermlm create /home/yr2004 ADDRESS=year...@blah.com POST=mod KEYWORD=BLAH
NAME=moderator_2004

For testing purposes - chmod -R 777 /home/yr2004 adduser mod2004

vi /home/mod2004/.courier-year2004 put line in: |/usr/lib/courier/bin/couriermlm msg /home/yr2004

vi /home/mod2004/.courier-year2004-default put line in: |/usr/lib/courier/bin/couriermlm ctlmsg /home/yr2004

vi /home/mod2004/.courier-year2004-owner put line in: mode...@blah.com

adduser moderator2004 adduser michael

couriermlm sub /home/yr2004 mich...@blah.com than a ctrl - D

Now because it is a restricted list - NOT ALLOWING anyone to subscribe -
(basically set up to send occasional emails/newsletters etc.. to
parents/associates of the school) I have not rightly or wrongly edited the
template files.

doing a couriermlm lsub /home/yr2004 tells me michael is subscribed.

If i send an email to mod2...@blah.com I get a returned email that says
I am not subscribed. To make sure system is functioning to a degree I edited the POST line in
/home/yr2004/options to read POST=mod Tested again and this time an email from the list is forwarded to
mich...@blah.com

Basically what you see above is the proceedure i used to create the mailing list
and get michael subscribed to a list. I would definely prefer a moderated list.

Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong or what I should re-read.

Again looking forward to your replies.

Regards Michael
