I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but the patch at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=1220144group_id=103atid=300103
may help.

This patch allows you to put '@listname' in list_2's
accept_these_nonmembers field and then all the members of listname are
allowed to post to list_2.

If I understand you correctly, you could do the following:

Create list_x. No one will post to this list. No general users need to
be aware of it. You can set it up per
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq03.011.htp
so it is fully moderated and no one can post.

You then add all your non-member 'approved' addresses to this list.

Then when you create a new [EMAIL PROTECTED] list, you put
@list_x in the accept_these_nonmembers field.

Thus, all the members of list_x will be allowed to post to any of the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lists, and the special approved posters can
be dynamically maintained just by maintaining the membership of list_x.

This does require installation of the patch, which may or may not be an
issue.

[Mailman-Users] umbrella lists and approved senders

2005-09-22 Thread Gary Casterline

We've set up chain of hierarchical lists to accommodate annual groups.
Each year we create a list for the new cohorts:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

and then add the new class-of list to the umbrella list:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Each list is set to allow postings from subscribers and a
small set of approved non-subscribed addresses.  I'd like to add
these approved addresses to the umbrella list and have messages go
through without owner/moderator approval to the sublists.
As it is now, we have to add the approved addresses to each sublist.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
