I have a script that adds an e-mail address to

     accept_these_nonmembers

for a number of lists.

# From a Mailman-Users reply August 19, 2007 to my posting:
# Mark Sapiro replied:
# Not directly, but in a shell script you could prepare a file that

#
# mlist.accept_these_nonmembers.append('usera at example.com')
# mlist.accept_these_nonmembers.append('userb at example.com')
#
# and so on for all the non-members you want to add and then run
#
# bin/config_list -i filename listname
#
# where filename is the name of the above file.


I now have a need to add an e-mail address to

     acceptable_aliases

for a number of lists.  I took the existing script and cloned it.
When I ran it I got some messages:

     Traceback (most recent call last):
       File "/usr/sbin/config_list", line 362, in ?
         main()
       File "/usr/sbin/config_list", line 357, in main
         do_input(listname, infile, checkonly, verbose)
       File "/usr/sbin/config_list", line 263, in do_input
         execfile(infile, globals)
       File "append_acceptable_aliases.file", line 1, in ?
         mlist.acceptable_aliases.append('testu...@example.com')
     AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'append'

I have not looked at the Mailman source, so I am not sure what is
failing.  Is it the case that the

     accept_these_nonmembers

is stored in a different internal format than

     acceptable_aliases

is?  This is a 2.1.14 package built from the SourceForge source.  Thanks.
