You don't even need to mark the list as moderated. Simply use a shell script to filter all incoming mail, via the .courier mechanism, before running couriermlm.
well, that sounds easy, but I donÂt know where to start on that. How would such a script look like? On what criteria should the newsletter author be authenticated? Simple checks against from-address will easiliy be forged, donÂt? I am totally blocked on that.
I have a working courier-configuration with authmysql and virtual hosts. So if I want to add a newsletter to a virtual domain, wouldnÂt it be a good idea to use the existing smtp-auth mechanisms to authenticate the newsletter author against the mysql db? How could this be implemented?
See above. A succesfull SMTP authentication will have stuff record in headers.
Have your shell script check those headers.
