That meant nobody could post to the newsgroup without going through the mailing list software, and the mailing list software could reject non-members. If you don't want non-members posting to the newsgroup or the mailing list that might be worth a try. -- Paul Tomblin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://blog.xcski.com/ FAQs are like flatulence.

You do have it. It is just described differently in Mailman 2.1 than it
was in the Mailman 2.0 document you quote above. The option it is
describing is gateway_to_mail. The "not members of the list" language
assumes that list members will post to the list rather than the
newsgroup.
If you want to gate a list-member's newsgroup post back to the list,
but treat non-member posts to the newsgroup the same as non-member
posts to the list, You need to modify your
Mailman/Handlers/Moderate.py module and change
def process(mlist, msg, msgdata):
if msgdata.get('approved') or msgdata.get('fromusenet'):
return
to
def process(mlist, msg, msgdata):
if msgdata.get('approved'):
return

[Mailman-Users] Newsgroup interface picking up spam
On our members only list how can we prevent the newsgroup interface picking up posts (spam) from non members? We have mailman 2.1.8. I see here http://staff.imsa.edu/~ckolar/mailman/mailman-administration-v2.html there is an option "Should newsgroup posts not sent from the list be resent to the list? Specifies whether or not messages posted by people out there in the world who are not members of the list should be gated and distributed to list members. " Which would seem to be the answer but we don't have that, is it new in 2.1.9?
