It translates to http://mydomain/mailman/private/mymailinglist/mymailinglist.mbox/mymailinglist.mbox where mydomain is your host name and mymailinglist is the cPanel list name of the form listname_mydomain.

No! I am not confirming that. If the Gmane address is a moderated member, you will never get to accept_these_nonmembers ("List of non-member addresses whose postings should be automatically accepted.") because this only applies to non-member posts and the post will be from a moderated member.
