I am going to refer you to the FAQ because your question is answered there in detail in the article at <http://wiki.list.org/x/3YA9>. Please read that, and then if you have specific questions about anything you don't understand, post them here and someone will answer. >Yesterday I sent out an email to one of my lists, and someone replied, >thinking it would just go to me, but it went to the whole group.

The first think you do when something like this breaks out is you go to the admin General Options page and scroll down to Additional settings Emergency moderation of all list traffic. and set that to Yes. That stops the flood. Then you go to the "Tend to pending moderator requests" page and discard all the held messages. Finally, you read the above referenced FAQ article and set up your list so members can't post. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
