[Bug 571902] [NEW] Side-wide whitelist

Public bug reported: Many lists only allow subscribers to post. On these lists, people often subscribe so they can post, but disable delivery so they don't receive all the (potentially high-volume) list traffic. In general, someone who has gone to the trouble of subscribing to one list at a site often qualifies to post to any list at that site, but mailman does not make it trivial to implement such a policy. A few mailman installations have custom patches for this. I'd like to have the ability to trivially (as in "check a checkbox") implement the following policy with mailman: - Allow posting from anyone subscribed to any list on this site, or whitelisted for any list on this site. This would also, as a side effect, allow a dummy list to serve as a place to subscribe for whitelisting purposes only. (See http://lists.debian.org/whitelist/ for an example of such a list.) I can imagine that some people might want to specify a specific list for use in whitelisting, rather than any list on the site, though I personally don't care about that variation. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Side-wide whitelist https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571902 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.
