I used to allow 'accept_these_nonmembers' for discussion list members
who just couldn't seem to remember their subscription address. This
was true even when replying to a post due to forwards they had set up.
Then we reached the point that most of the members had multiple
addresses and a majority wanted multiple 'accept_' addresses.
Maintenance of those addresses became a major headache, primarily
because there is apparently no way to associate a name with an address
in the 'accept_' list. Also, members would leave by unsubbing their
primary address but had no way to delete their 'accept_' addresses.
These are discussion groups for membership organizations, so I finally
put my foot down and said "no alternate addresses", and somehow
everyone manages to remember their subscription address. The only
reason I use 'accept_' addresses is for temporary special cases like
non-members involved in special projects.

Hi Jürgen
You need to get the other addresses of the users into your server anyway. I do
not think a user would subscribe with an address and then again with the other
- and probably he doesn’t even know that there is a possibility of a „silent“
subscription.
You have to maintain the list of „non-members whose messages are accepted“ the
same way. I do not see any automatism. Your „work load“ remains the same.
When a message needs moderation (because someone is subscribed with a different
address), I can manually add his „new“ address with the „no message“ option
ticked.
Our server does not send automated membership reminders or password reminders.
