There is a patch at <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1220144&group_id=103&atid=300103> which is included in the Mailman 2.1.10 base. This enables putting list B in one of list A's *_these_nonmembers via the syntax @listb. With Mailman 2.1.10 or with the patch in prior versions, you can put @listb in lista's hold_these_nonmembers to accomplish what you want. Note that you don't want to use accept_these_nonmembers, as that will bypass moderation. <snip> >(Assuming both the mailing list memberships and the allowed >posters lists are stored in files, one could create a script >and cron job to periodically sync/merge the membership of list >"A" into the "allowed posters" of list "B".

It's as simple as installing the patch or upgrading to Mailman 2.1.10 (currently in beta with a release candidate due soon). All you need to do is convince your provider to do it.<wink> -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
