According to what I've read there are only two steps necessary to limit or restrict individuals from posting requests. 1) Uncomment the foreign_submit directive in rc.custom 2) Delink the accept file from the dist file and edit it accordingly.
This isn't working for me. Has anyone tried this feature?

Er...what kinds of "requests" are you talking about? Exactly what are you trying to accomplish?

- Uncomment the foreign_submit directive in rc.custom
"Uncomment" is not very clear. If you uncomment a line like
## foreign_submit = yes
everyone can post to the list. In standard SmartList packages it's written
##foreign_submit
but if you were experiencing with this option the first case could be valid for you. To avoid such ambiguity and the whole comment/uncomment mess I would suggest to write in the next SmartList release all parameters in the rc.init/rc.custom file as
parameter = # not set parameter = yes # value set
- Delink the accept file from the dist file and edit it accordingly.
That' all. Did you post something from a wrong address with VERBOSE=ON?
