I subscribe to a couple of different lists that (ab)use mailman's "temporarily disable delivery" attribute for this purpose. Someone with N addresses they'd like to post from simply subscribes to the list from all of them and sets the disable delivery flag on N-1 of them. Mailman seems to define temporary as "until I unset this attribute". No admin intervention required. -Patrick
