Thanks. I guess I was concerned with what seems to be the default behavior of SmartList breaking the digest list when one puts the main list into moderated mode. As you know, when the main list sends an email to the digest list, the digest list bounces a copy of that email back to the main list (I guess that is to make sure the main list gets a copy of an email if someone mistakenly sends their post to the digest list instead of the main list). That copy's Msg ID shows up as a duplicate of the original message and is dumped by the main list. When the main list goes into moderated mode, the bounce copy needs the approval of the moderator and so is sent to the moderator for approval instead of dumping it. I wonder if there is a better way to handle this. Thanks, --Paul T. On Wed, 4 Apr 2001, Charlie Summers wrote:

Has anyone had any luck configuring SmartList as moderated and the moderated list having a digest component?
Sure. But I don't handle things the "blessed" way at all; I have a slightly different approval scheme (password in the subject), I drop _all_ mail through the interactive list first (my slist user is a _real_ user, with its own .procmailrc, instead of just an owner for sendmail aliases), and only pipe a copy of the mail to the digest in the interactive's rc.local.s20 (before adding footers and whatnot) - that's the _only_ way for mail to get to the digest list, since _nothing_ else calls flist with the digested listname. If it wasn't approved for the interactive, it never gets so far as the rc.local.s20...QED.
(*sigh*) Like I said, completely different than the "blessed" method, and I know it sounds more difficult, but it works much better for me than the whole add-digest-list-user-to-interactive-dist-list technique. Allows me to set up anti-spam recipies globally for _all_ the lists, require the list address in either To: or Cc: header (no blind carbons accepted here), lets digested lists remain _true_ slaves of the interactive, and I can do a bunch of other stuff not possible the "normal" way.
Some say I'm a control freak... ;)
