I have now upgraded to mailman 2.1.14 (to run on suse 11.3 with
bundled python 2.6) and it runs nicely.
The help text for accept_these_nonmembers says
Add member addresses one per line; start the line with a ^ character to
designate a regular expression match. A line consisting of the @ character
followed by a list name specifies another Mailman list in this
installation, all of whose member addresses will be accepted for this
list.
I succeed (not surprisingly, I tested this already on other installations)
using regex. E.g. to allow posting to any list from root of any machine
(which is exposed) this works
^root@.+\.lambrate\.inaf\.it
I cannot manage to have the @ notation working though.
I am testing this with two lists, pseudoastro of which I'm the only
member, and pseudotecno (with a colleague as member, and me as non
member). Ideally I'd want to set up a list as template and then work for
all others (we will have some 6 DISJOINCT lists with categories of our
staff, we want to be able that members of each can post to any other [and
in addition to set up some umbrella lists])
Notation
@pseudoastro
@pseudotecno
fails at web level entry (Error: Invalid value for variable:
accept_these_nonmembers)
Notation (with a blank between @ and list name)
@ pseudoastro
@ pseudotecno
gives an entry in the error log
*_these_nonmembers in pseudotecno references non-existent list pseudoastro
*_these_nonmembers in pseudotecno references non-existent list pseudotecno
I tried capitalizing the first letter, adding the host and domain, using
a notation list_host.domain (according to a posting found on the net), but
in all cases I get the "non-existent list" error !!
What's the correct syntax ?
(and by the way ... are those checks to be considered effective as
antispam measures ? do they just use the value of the header From field
(which can be faked) or use info from the SMTP dialogue ?
