We've had to do this for someone on the gcc lists too. In the /qmail/lists-sourceware//editor file you'll have something like this: |/usr/sourceware/bin/rbl-check.sh gcc --gcc-list |/usr/sourceware/bin/check-for-listname.sh gcc@gcc.gnu.org egcs@egcs.cygnus.com |/qmail/ezmlm/ezmlm-reject -T '/qmail/lists-gcc/gcc' |/qmail/ezmlm/ezmlm-issubn -n '/qmail/lists-gcc/gcc/deny' || { echo "Sorry, I've been told to reject your posts. Contact gcc-owner@gcc.gnu.org if you have quest ions about this (#5.7.2)"; exit 100 ; } |/qmail/ezmlm/ezmlm-send -r '/qmail/lists-gcc/gcc' |/qmail/ezmlm/ezmlm-warn '/qmail/lists-gcc/gcc' || exit 0 |/qmail/ezmlm/ezmlm-warn -d '/qmail/lists-gcc/gcc' || exit 0 |/qmail/ezmlm/ezmlm-tstdig -t24 -m30 -k64 '/qmail/lists-gcc/gcc' || exit 99 |/qmail/ezmlm/ezmlm-get '/qmail/lists-gcc/gcc' || exit 0 Look at the line which checks /qmail/lists-gcc/deny -- you'll want to add something similar for the docbook list(s). Then do ezmlm-sub /qmail/lists-sourceware//deny loser@whereever.net jeff
