I'm beginning to use mailman 3. One of the nice feature in mailman 2 was the ability to allow specific non-member of a list to post in it.
I don't find a way to do this in mailman 3 and as far as I understand this page http://www.pythonhosted.org/mailman/src/mailman/model/docs/membership.html it seems that there is no automatic way of dealing with this.
This is really what you want to read. There's a new 'nonmember' rule that checks for posting conditions described here:
http://mailman.readthedocs.org/en/release-3.0/src/mailman/chains/docs/modera...
"Members" are users or addresses subscribed to mailing lists, and every member has a role and a moderation_action. "Non-member" is a valid role. So the idea is that you "subscribe" a non-member to a mailing list and give them a moderation_action of 'accept'. Then their postings won't be held for approval.
Mailman 3 also supports the legacy *_these_nonmember fields, e.g. accept_these_nonmembers, which must contain email addresses or, if the string starts with a ^ it's interpreted as a regular express, just as with Mailman 2.1.
