You do have it. It is just described differently in Mailman 2.1 than it
was in the Mailman 2.0 document you quote above. The option it is
describing is gateway_to_mail. The "not members of the list" language
assumes that list members will post to the list rather than the
newsgroup.
If you want to gate a list-member's newsgroup post back to the list,
but treat non-member posts to the newsgroup the same as non-member
posts to the list, You need to modify your
Mailman/Handlers/Moderate.py module and change
def process(mlist, msg, msgdata):
if msgdata.get('approved') or msgdata.get('fromusenet'):
return
to
def process(mlist, msg, msgdata):
if msgdata.get('approved'):
return
