For some reason, one of the lists I manage has started to accept postings from anyone. It was setup as a subscriber-only list, and I've looked at the rc.custom file to check that the flag is set.
I've even tried setting the flag on and off (removing and adding back the #), and it seems to be ignoring that control.
I must say that the logic of the comment is a bit baffling - it says
"# uncomment this line if you want to restrict submitting to people on the accept list"
and yet it has the word "yes" as the default term to use. To me, this flag should be either "yes" if you want anyone to be able to post, or "no" if you don't.
Otherwise, it should be "uncomment this line if you DO want anyone to be able to post".
#foreign_submit = yes ##foreign_submit
</gets off soap-box/>
Can anyone shed any light on how I can get it working? Is there some other thing that could be interfering?
TIA
