Mail-to-weblog questions

[Hugh Nicoll]

Greetings all,

I have just started to play with the mail-to-weblog feature, which I'm 
sure I'm going to love once I get it working properly.

I have set up a couple of Manila sites for members of academic mailing 
lists that I administer on a LetterRip Pro server. I want to use the 
feature to create continuously updating, automatic, searchable archives 
of mailing list posts.

I have added all subscribers to the sites as contributing editors and 
made the sites private.

I have subscribed to the mailing lists using my secondary university 
email address, and set the verification to use the secret subject 
setting, using the subject line prefixes for the respective lists as 
secret subjects.

At this point, without pointing Manila to the special pop account email 
address in the authorized senders section of the Mail-to-Weblog 
preferences, the mailing list posts are not, apparently, being 
uploaded. But if the only authorized sender is me, at my secondary 
address, then presumably other list members' posts would be ignored.

Anyone experienced similar issues? Perhaps I'll simply need to copy and 
paste the email addresses of all list members in the authorized senders 
text box....

Suggestions welcome, and thanks in advance,

Hugh
