Dear Mailman users (and hopefully administrators and/or programmers), We have some campus lists that we'd like to leave open to members and everybody with addresses such as (in regexp form)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] but cause all postings from non-duke.edu addresses to be held for the moderator. I cannot see how to do this with mailman's current privacy settings -- I had thought one could "whitelist" by domain at the administrator interface level with a suitable regular expression, but when I try restricting to list members and putting this into the "addresses of members accepted for posting..." box it doesn't work. When I try other ways, such as leaving the list open to any posters (or rather not restrict posting to list members) together with negated regular expression rules in either the "addresses always held for approval..." or the "Hold posts...specific regexp" boxes (the specific regexp patterns I've tried are various things like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] from: ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and a few others) THAT doesn't work either. I was intending this to read as "headers that don't include from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]". So I guess I have a question and/or suggestion: Is there any way to do what I'm trying to do at this level of mailman (that is, without hacking scripts or inserting procmail with suitable rules but rather through a regexp in one of the privacy boxes)? If not, how about: Making the "always accepted" and "always held" list boxes accept simple rexexp's e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] (to accept or hold all duke.edu postings, depending on which box it is in) or at least enabling them to manage SOME sort of wildcard/domain level entries. Adding the email of everybody on campus to one list or everybody in the universe NOT on campus to the other list are not happy alternatives. Even making the hold posts box (that already takes regexps) work with negated regexps would do the trick, although the holds don't really take place because of "suspicious headers" as explained in the hold message to the poster.
