Will it be in vers. > 3? Sort of. What I was talking about was using mail-back confirmation as an option for allowing postings from email addresses that Mailman has never seen before (i.e. non-validated). The confirmation message would be a sort of on-demand validation that would optionally be enough to allow that email address to post to the list. It still doesn't solve any of the authentication problems with those email addresses. -Barry ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
