Hey Omar,

I have some announce lists under mailman, you want the following:

Restrict posting privilege to list
 members? : No

Then put the announce maintainer's email in 'Addresses of members accepted
for posting to this list without
implicit approval requirement'

Read the link for the posters option ('Addresses of members accepted for
posting to this list without implicit approval requirement').


The way you have it setup now the list members will be able to post to the
list. If it is not allowing list members to post, some other option is
restricting that.

HTH,
