As far as I know you would have to be a 'priviledged owner' to edit the list config. You can view your current status in the top left corner when logged in. If you're not a priviledged owner, contact somebody who is or the listmaster. They can grant you this priviledge, or change the lists' send scenario.
Best,
gerard

Something that just occurred to me: You must of course have permissions to change to list config, so maybe Frank just wasn't logged in as listmaster.

Frank,
More detail about Gerard's solution:
In order for it to work you must have a send. scenari that includes permissions for subscribers to send. There may be a default one, but we use our own self-created ones. For example: in /etc/sympa/scenery we have " send.closed_post_nonsub_bounce" which looks like
title.gettext restricted to subscribers & auth posters, messages from others are bounced
is_subscriber([listname],[sender]) smtp,dkim,smime,md5 -> do_it
is_editor([listname],[sender]) smtp,dkim,smime,md5 -> do_it
is_owner([listname],[sender]) smtp,dkim,smime,md5 -> do_it
true() smtp,dkim,md5,smime -> reject(reason='send_subscriber')
This says "if the sender is a list subscriber, a list moderator, or the list owner, allow posting; anyone else reject the post with a message saying "only subscribers may post". You could also silently reject by not including "(reason='send_subscriber')"
This specific send scenari can then be selected as Gerard says.

Hi,
we got a list with 30-some trustworthy members.
How can I change the settings, so that every member can send a
message, without me having to moderate each?
I looked all over sympa and couldn't find the answer. FAQ and
Documentation didn't help either.
With many thanks in advance,
Assuming that you use the Sympa webui and that you have a fairly recent version, log in to the webui, select the list and then:
Admin -> Edit list config -> Who can send messages and choose from the various scenarios you'll find there.
Best regards,
gerard
