IOW, should a non-member send a message to a mailing list, and if that mailing list is so configured, Mailman will hold the message and send a message to the From address asking for verification of the post. I'm assuming this is what you mean by "auto-moderation". I'm not worried about joe-jobbing because Mailman could easily send just one auto-moderation message per unit of time, or number of posts to limit any backspamming. There are issues related to how long you want to hold such auto-moderated posts and such, but I think those are all manageable. There's also the question of how long you want a verified non-member to be able to post to a list, but again, this is doable (hopefully without introducing a bajillion new admin knobs). - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBRNzqInEjvBPtnXfVAQIviwP/TtiHJRvZDOgpGjuK5NS6bmugPZajPLfo 6gYWLWB+e6jdCRrlIOfkYN27lR1NovGzhbZwBP8q3l84aDeNCvyMscCOvaZUjv8m sFbYe2zDYzYG4yjeuY1XFlfXl2PVlgAwh1LQZ3PyJSq08JltTxYG4X+wTzDJOEJZ KWDor5pRDJE= =knT6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
