One thing that would make integration easier, would be a script

Why don't you code something up and submit it here? :)

I started to write that I've no python coding experience. Well, about 3
lines because php can't do "utf-something or other". Then I thought, well
it's about time I got some.
I had hacked up a shell script using the existing Mailman scripts, but that
was far too inefficient. Instead I've hacked up the attached. It started
life as list_config, but hopefully I've not left much trace of that. The
second issue below ***MUST*** be resolved before using this script with an
MTA.
The attached script takes these arguments:
-o --outputfile FILE_PATH can be used to specify logging of denies. use '-'
to log to stdout
-v --verbose causes logging of all results, allows as well as denies.
-h --help prints help
-s --sender EMAIL_ADDRESS is required
The script applies these tests, printing 'allow' or 'deny' to std out on
the first match.
allow list owners
allow list moderators
allow members of accept_these_nonmembers
deny members of reject_these_nonmembers
if generic_nonmember_action is 'reject':
allow members to post
deny non-members
allow by default
These issues are outstanding:
----------------------------
On allow, I say "return 1" on deny I say "return 0". I'm not sure whether
that's correct. Actually, I think I want the script to succeed every time,
so it can't be.
I've not figured out how to do a pattern match so accept_these_nonmembers
and reject_these_nonmembers are only tested for exact string matches. This
*****needs to be fixed***** for accept_these_nonmembers, otherwise some
won't be permitted to post.
It'd be nice to log to syslog, but the MTA could take care of that.
It might be nice to say 'hold' or 'discard' where appropriate. It's often
sensible to reject rather than discard a message, for example.
The list's nonmember_rejection_notice isn't used here. It could be returned
instead of 'deny' for the MTA to construct a rejection string with.
I've hard-coded '2' as the 'reject' key to generic_nonmember_action, which
is sinful.
