Mailman's usenet gateway is from another era. Originally, all posts arriving via the usenet gateway were exempt from member moderation and *_these_nonmembers and generic_nonmember_action actions. This was changed in Mailman 2.1.17 per <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1252575> to apply member_moderation_action to a usenet gated post from a moderated member and to apply *_these_nonmember actions to usenet gated posts from nonmembers matching one of those filters. This was deliberately not extended to generic_nonmember_action because it would be too disruptive to existing lists. However, you can effectively accomplish the same thing since you can put regexp patterns in *_these_nonmembers, so if your list's generic_nonmember_action is, e.g., hold, and you also want to hold all nonmember posts that come via usenet, just put say ^.*$ in hold_these_nonmembers and every nonmember post will be held regardless of source except for those from users matching accept_these_nonmembers. This is not completely flexible, since the *_these_nonmember tests are applied in order (accept, hold, reject, discard) to all posts from nonmembers before generic_nonmember_action, so for example, if you put ^.*$ in discard_these_nonmembers, all nonmember posts will be discarded before ever checking generic_nonmember_action. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
