However, is there any method to keep digest from being able to post without unlinking dist and accept?
sorry if I missed the background of this thread, but could you describe more precisely what you intend to do? For instance, if you plan to have both the digested and undigested (regular hereafter) versions of a mail list, you should consider first the way they are implemented in SL, * the undigested (regular) version is meant for common use. If files dist & accept are linked, then it works as an open list (subscribers can post). If files dist & accept are independent, then it works as a closed list (subscribers get e-mail, but do not post) * the digested version is meant to distribute messages as a whole when the digested version is flushed (on the basis of a certain number of messages being achieved or some expiration time being ellapsed) depending to which version people subscribe they get individual messages immediately after posted (regular) or all measseges as a whole (digest). Note that by default, * the digested version is *only* meant for distributing messages, not for posting * messages posted to the regular version are diverted to the digested version, because the email address of the later is included in the dist file of the former. * subscribers to the digested version cannot post messages to the regular version (unless they subscribe to both list, which is nonsense) * the above facts can be altered by linking a new accept2 file in the regular version directory to the dist file in the digested version directory, and instructing the regular version to use the new accept2 file as well as the standard accept file (FAQs 2.16 and 4.10) If this doesn't answer your question, then, please, rephrase it so that we can better help you.
