It's trivial in Mailman 2.1. Just put [EMAIL PROTECTED] in accept_these_nonmembers. In Mailman 2.0, the roughly corresponding list attribute is posters, but posters accepts only addresses, not regexps matching addresses. I think your choices are either upgrade or implement a custom handler. There is information on custom handlers in Mailman 2.1 at <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.067.htp>. Mailman 2.0 is similar, except the handler pipeline is not in Defaults.py and thus cannot be manipulated in mm_cfg.py, nor is a list pipeline attribute recognized. Adding a handler to the pipeline requires modifying Handlers/HandlerAPI.py, at which point it might be easier to just modify Handlers/Approve.py to accept posts for that list from senders in that domain. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
