It is not clear to me what you are talking about. What Mailman
package/version is this? What "general tab"?

First, allowing authorized members to post by setting them unmoderated
is not secure. People receiving the posts know who the authorized
posters are and can easily post by spoofing an authorized address.

See the FAQ at  and the "How to post to
the announcement list:" section for Mailman 2.1.  Similar things exist
for Mailman 3.

[Mailman-Users] authorized to a moderated list

[Bernie Cosell]

i have a list that only a few people are allowed to post to.  I had done this 
by 
putting everyone on the list to "MOD" and put the handful of people authorized 
to post into the OK addresses field on the general tab.   It turns out that one 
of the 
authorized people is also ON the list, and I discovered that the MOD setting in 
the membership list overrides the authorized field on the general tab.

I'd like to be able to manage the authorized posters separately from the 
subscribed posters.  Is there a way to do that?   [my idea here is that it is 
easy to 
see all the 'authorized' addresses because they're in one place [on the general 
tab].  Much easier than finding all of the non-MOD entries on the list and then 
adding to it the unsubscribed-but -authorized addresses from the general tab.

Is there a way to do that?
