If USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER = Yes in mm_cfg.py, the address checked against the whitelist (accept_these_nonmembers) is the address in the Sender: header if any. This may help. >The best answer I can see is to patch Mailman somehow to have it allow the >header unique to Mail2forum. Could anyone provide me any ideas how >where/how to best apply this patch? Should I post this to the devs list? No need to post to Mailman-Developers. Use a custom handler. See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.067.htp>. The handler needs to be inserted in the pipeline somewhere before Moderate, but immediately before or after Approve seems the logical place. Look at Mailman/Handlers/Approve.py for an idea of what to do. You could just patch Approve.py, but then you have to reapply the patch after any update. A custom handler installed per the FAQ will survive any updates/upgrades. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
