Well, since we already have a 'metoo' option, it should not be hard to
flip the logic to 'mineonly'.

It's not obvious to me that is a good solution, but it should work
easily into 2.x.

My view is that if people are posting to the list, they should
subscribe to the list.


There are cases where posters have no need or desire to subscribe to the 
list.  For example, I moderate a job posting list where we screen 
postings for our members.  Most people posting jobs aren't seeking them! 
 It'd be a bit silly to expect hr/recruiting folk to subscribe.


In our case, I believe they can just check when their post went through 
because the archives are public, but I'm sure they'd prefer the email 
rather than having to check back a day later!

(yes, I am miserable.)

Ergo, I'd not see any need for code modification.

I don't know what kind of source-code level modifications might be 
necessary to make that happen.

[Mailman-Users] Will Mailman inform a sender of a bounced message that it was approved?

[Jane Frizzell]

Hello,
Is there a feature in Mail Man that would notify the sender of a 
message, when it bounces for moderation, to be informed when it is 
cleared by the moderator?  This person is not a member of the list so 
could not tell if it is eventually delivered.


Thanks.  Jane.
