I believe its the way it currently is because hub.org has multiple mailing lists, and pgsql-related ones are only a subset. Its a normal majordomo behaviour to have access-control per list. Majordomo is a pain in the rear to modify, from what I reckon. It'd be nice if all pgsql-* lists shared one allowed-poster-list, but not sure if its easy to do.

We do have a loopback address that allows posting to any of our lists so I assumed that could be used somehow. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026

Does it still exist? I'm sure I tried pgsql-loopback and nothing happened.. Patrick

You're referring to loophole and Marc dropped that when he upgraded to majordomo2 and refuses to bring it back.
