This is what I have done for many mailing lists.  —  I subscribe with 
one private address for email filtering and reply from another public 
email address.


I suggest that the member also pick one and toggle the option to hide 
(the non-public subscribed address) from other subscribers.


To place the burden on you, assuming you have access to Mailman's command 
line tools, you could periodically (via cron) run a script to list the 
members, find those with '+' in the local part and add the address without 
the +... in the local part to the list's accept_these_nonmembers. There 
is a script at  (mirrored 
at ) that can do the 
adding to accept_these_nonmembers.


I don't see any obvious security related down sides to this.  It does 
open the mailing list up to messages (spam) from some additional 
addresses.  But I can't think of any cases where u...@domain.tld would 
be different than user+det...@domain.tld.  I guess maybe some sort of 
ticketing system /might/ do something like that.  But I bet that the 
intersection between such configurations and Mailman configured as Mark 
is describing to be quite small.

You can't configure Mailman to just do it without making code
changes,


OK, thanks.

I might play around with that at some point in the future.

You can't configure Mailman to just do it without making code changes,
but there are possibilities:

To place the burden on john, he can subscribe both addresses and set
j...@example.com to nomail.

To place the burden on you, assuming you have access to Mailman's
command line tools, you could periodically (via cron) run a script to
list the members, find those with '+' in the local part and add the
address without the +... in the local part to the list's
accept_these_nonmembers. There is a script at

[Mailman-Users] Allow posting from addresses with modifiers?

[David Gibbs via Mailman-Users]

Folks:

Anyone know if it's possible to configure MM 2.1 to allow posting with an email 
address that has a modifier?

For example ... if someone is subscribed as "john+li...@example.com", but their email 
comes from "j...@example.com", allow that address to post?

I've had some people ask me about this ability because they want to use the 
modifier address to help them filter messages.

Thanks!

david
