Can you explain in more detail how that would work? The current approach of having people send to an internal list (e.g., psarc-ext at sunc.com) and vectoring that to opensolaris.org doesn't work well, at least as present. Mailman holds the mail for moderation, no matter who it's from, apparently because the opensolaris.org address doesn't appear in the "to" or "cc" list. (The opensolaris-arc moderators have been very busy approving postings for the ksh93 case.) AFAICT, this behavior is not something we can change using the mailman admin interface.

Okay, I misunderstood your requirement. I believe that this requirement would be satisfied by the much-discussed-but-not-yet-implemented approach of letting anyone who is subscribed to any opensolaris.org list post to any other non-moderated opensolaris.org list. mike
