   It shouldn't refuse the post.  I am not as clear about whether or not it   
   will auto-add a user if they post to the conference.  I am thinking it did   
   not used to but may do so now.  From my end, it looked like that is what   
   you did that worked the last time.

   That is one I have never got to work, with SLMR or Multimail.  I will ask   
   about that in the support echo and see what the answer is so that I will   
   know, too!

   Yes.  When you add a message area, synchronet has a lot of switches that   
   can be set Y/N and, if the sysop doesn't get the combinations right, it can   
   cause conferences to auto-add for users.  There is a switch that   
   specifically ask if I want that to be done and I am almost positive that   
   setting that to "N" doesn't always stop it from doing so.  I think there is   
   a combo of a couple of switches that have to be set to get it to actually   
   work as I would expect and I am not sure I have figured that combo out!  :D
