Mark....=20

Based on the mails, I thought I'd have a little play with egroups and have
=
found what might be a solution....

Unlisted group with settings of :-

Anyone can post=20
Unmoderated=20
Replies go to all members of the group=20
Subject tag: [whatever]=20
Restricted membership=20
Language of automated messages: English=20

This means that anyone who goes to your group page (the one I just setup
wa=
s www.egroups.com/group/doogie ) can choose the post link or subscribe,
but=
not read messages. If subscribe is set to restricted then you have to appr=
ove all the accounts so you just don't grant her membership access.

Unfortunately, this means that anyone who visits your group page or the
pos=
t page directly (www.egroups.com/post/doogie) can post to the list... not
a=
problem if it is an obscure name, as long as people don't start playing fu=
nny buggers and setting up other accounts. It also means you have to
author=
ise everyone's account which could be a lot of work depending on staff
turn=
over.

The final option (just using egroups configuration, too lazy to go through
=
all the other options!) would be to set messages only to be read by
moderat=
ors, but all your users except this particular one would have to be
moderat=
ors, meaning they could delete/ edit messages and settings, which could be
=
quite dangerous.
