I think this should be in the FAQ. I'll try to add it soon. Anyway, you have three issues: The first is if S1, S2 and S3 have Privacy options...->Recipient filters->require_explicit_destination = Yes, then the posting address for U1 needs to be in Privacy options...->Recipient filters->acceptable_aliases of S1, S2 and S3 and the posting address for U2 needs to be in Privacy options...->Recipient filters->acceptable_aliases of S1 and S2. The second issue is the membership issue you have identified. There is a patch at <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1220144&group_id=103&atid=300103> that will allow you to put @S1, @S2 and @S3 in Privacy options...->Sender filters->accept_these_nonmembers of U1 and @S1 and @S2 in Privacy options...->Sender filters->accept_these_nonmembers of U2. This will allow any member of S1, S2 or S3 to post to U1 and similarly for U2. Without this patch, if you want the sublist members posts to go through to all sublists from the umbrella without being held, You either have to maintain accept_these_nonmembers of U1 and U2 outside of Mailman (you could do it whith a script run by cron that massages the output from bin/list_members into an input file for bin/config_list), or you have to essentially run open lists. The third issue is when a mumber of S1 posts to U1, her post is held by S2 and S3. There are two ways to deal with this. if the mm_cfg.py option USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER is Yes or True, you can add the U1-bounces address to accept_these_nonmembers of S1, S2 and S3, and similarly for U2, S1 and S2. In any case, you can add the U1-bounces address as a member with delivery disabled and password reminders off to S1, S2 and S3, and similarly for U2, S1 and S2.
