Check out the config_list command for a possible workaround. ~mailman/bin/config_list will let you output the configuration of your list in a format that the command can then read back in and reset the configuration of the list. You can dump out the config to a file, then insert the contents of your file "list.allowed" at the appropriate place - then feed the file back in. If you put this in to a cron file that checks the modify date on the "list.allow" file (and keep a backup of your config.db) then you can easily automate the process of feeding that file into the posters field of each list.
