I think I see the problem with the listinclusion patch. It locks the
@list list and doesn't unlock it. I don't see a need to lock the list,
so I suggest changing the following piece of the patch
+ elif are.startswith('@'):
+ try:
+ mother = MailList(are[1:])
+ if mother.members.has_key(sender):
+ return 1
+ except Errors.MMUnknownListError:
+ syslog('error', 'filter references non-existent list
%s',
+ are[1:])
to
+ elif are.startswith('@'):
+ try:
+ mother = MailList(are[1:], lock=0)
+ if mother.members.has_key(sender):
+ return 1
+ except Errors.MMUnknownListError:
+ syslog('error', 'filter references non-existent list
%s',
+ are[1:])

You could create a shell script that would use bin/list_members to
build a file of addresses for the accept_these_nonmembers list, even
sorting and dropping dups from it, then use awk or sed or ? to turn it
into input for bin/config_list and run config_list.
You might want to make the above change to the patch and try it on your
test system first.
