I manage a number of lists for non-technical users that are considered owners of their own lists. Some of them have expressed that they would like to emulate some other mailing list services' "Quiet" owners for people that need to be able to access the list settings for administrative reconciliation as well as a fallback, but want to leave subscription requests or approval of messages to others that are more involved in the day-to-day management.
They'd like to disable owner delivery for themselves, and I'd like to not make the change for them using the shell every time I get one of their requests. We have a Postorius front end set up and working, but it doesn't appear that disabling delivery using the List-based preferences in the Postorius interface stops those Owner communications. Is there a way to allow users to disable that natively in Postorius?
Thanks, Sam

No. In Postorius you can set the delivery status for members and non-members, but you can't set it for owners or moderators. Owners and moderators do have a delivery_status which will control whether they receive notices sent via the listname-owner address, but it is not exposed or settable in Postorius.

I appreciate the response, Mark. I will let my team know and we will decide how to handle these requests going forward.
