Category: security/privacy Group: 2.0.x Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jeff Garvas (jgarvas) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: check for subscriber fails w/ moderated Initial Comment: When you run a list that is non-moderated, but you limit posts to the subscribers list, a post by a non-member results in this error: Reason: Post by non-member to a members-only list If you go into "Privacy Options" and change "Must posts be approved by an administrator?" and maintain "Restrict posting privilege to list members" a post by a non-subscriber results in THIS reason: Reason: Post to moderated list Unless I am missing a configuration option, I believe this is a flaw in the order in which mailman is checking posts. Even if a list is moderated, the reason this individual post was rejected should still read Reason: Post by non-member to a members-only list or, a new reason should be made like this: Reason: Post by a non-member to a members-only AND moderated list This may seem like a silly request, but if you run a members only list that happens to be moderated as well, you run into the problem of accidentally approving a post from a non-member when the content of that post was "on topic". Is there a fix for this? Would this classify as a bug? Does anyone know of any other work arounds? When you have a few thousand people on a mailing list, its not really easy to realize on your own that a specific individual isn't a subscriber to the list. Especially when you have multiple individuals help administrate the list itself. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=566691&group_id=103 _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman-21/listinfo/mailman-developers
