I've seen a couple of questions about this, but no answers yet;
before I start working on it myself I thought I'd ask one more time.
Has anyone solved the problem where a list which is gatewayed to a
Usenet newsgroup requires approval for Usenet postings? (Since Usenet
posters are not usually members of the mailing list.) I.e., I want
usenet postings to come through to the list without requiring
approval due to the sender not being a member. But I want normal
posts to get blocked if they do not come from a member, since e-mail
can come from anywhere and we do get spam on the list if I turn that
off. (Newsgroups postings will only come from our local server.)

It looks like (Mailman 2.0.8) I can hack into process() in Hold.py to
modify the section for "if mlist.member_posting_only:". (This depends
on whether I have access to headers there or not.)

The more restrictions there are, the poorer the people become. The
greater the governmentıs power, the more chaotic the nation would
become. The more the ruler imposes laws and prohibitions on his
people, the more frequently evil deeds would occur.
