OK, I still don't understand the real issue here nor exactly how this would 
be setup. It sounds like more time will be expended setting this up than it 
would take to actually add a bunch of people to the non-member accept list.

It takes me all of a minute to add somebody to that list and it is rare 
that I even get a request to do it. I can only see that becoming a real 
time issue on huge lists with lots of people who want to post from an 
alternate address. In my case, this is extremely unlikely to happen so I go 
with the simpler approach.
