I have some internal mailing lists that are trying to be closed (only members can post without moderator approval).
Unfortunately, we have different email addresses for internal vs. external mail, and our Exchange (:-/) server rewrites our addresses for mail we send internally to be from the internal address, even if we have a From: line etc. using the external address.
So, when people send mail to the list part of the time it looks like it comes from their external address, and part of the time it looks like it comes from their internal address. When the mail looks like it comes from the "other" address and it's addressed to a closed list, the moder has to approve it (or they have to allow every user's alternate address individually). This is a major pain!
I'm wondering if there's any capability in Mailman to have it understand that two different mail domains are really equivalent, so that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the same as [EMAIL PROTECTED] (for example)?
When the moderator approves such a message s/he can also set the "other" address to be accepted even though it's not a member. When approving from the web interface, check the check box that says "Add [EMAIL PROTECTED] to a sender filter" and click the "Accepts" radio button. That is the last time that address will need to be approved.
