I'm having what seems like a simple problem, but I haven't found the solution.

I'm starting an e-mail newsletter for my non-profit. I, as moderator, want to be the only one who can post to it. I marked my username as moderator, but it still won't let me post unless "list." is in front of the domain name on the from e-mail address.

Example:

Let's say my e-mail is steve@non-profit.org

I mark username "steve" as moderator of my list called "newsletter".

Sending an e-mail from steve@non-profit.org to newsletter@list.non-profit.org is bounced saying I don't have permission to post to this list. But if I change my from address to steve@list.non-profit.org, it accepts the message and relays it.

steve@list.non-profit.org is a non-existant address so I don't want that showing on the e-mail anywhere. And I don't want to have to manually change my from address in Outlook, and then change it back, each time I post something.

I've added steve@non-profit.org to the posters whitelist, but that didn't solve it.

BTW, I'm using SmarterMail Enterprise 4.3

Thanks for your help,
Steve

Hello,

If you add the user to the poster whitelist, and enable the poster whitelist from the List options, it should work, If you do use the poster whitelist I would recommend also putting in a password on the list that way someone cant set the from address to be yours and send out to the list. Let met know if you have any problems.
