Hi,
We manage a rather large list which has a number of people who
are reponsible for answering posts to the list. These people
however are not all interested in receiving mailman admin mail.
Is it possible to prioritize the order in which mailman sends
out posts to the list of subscribers? This way, people who
need to receive the mail first can get it quickly, before
general subscribers receive the mail.
Take care,
Cory

Wouldn't this then allow anyone to remove the user?
wouldn't this then allow anyone to change the users settings?
hmm,
sounds dangerous to me.
