Category: security/privacy Group: 2.0.x Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jeff Garvas (jgarvas) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: check for subscriber fails w/ moderated
Initial Comment: When you run a list that is non-moderated, but you limit posts to the subscribers list, a post by a non-member results in this error:
Reason: Post by non-member to a members-only list
If you go into "Privacy Options" and change "Must posts be approved by an administrator?" and maintain "Restrict posting privilege to list members" a post by a non-subscriber results in THIS reason:
Reason: Post to moderated list
Unless I am missing a configuration option, I believe this is a flaw in the order in which mailman is checking posts. Even if a list is moderated, the reason this individual post was rejected should still read
Reason: Post by non-member to a members-only list
or, a new reason should be made like this:
Reason: Post by a non-member to a members-only AND moderated list
This may seem like a silly request, but if you run a members only list that happens to be moderated as well, you run into the problem of accidentally approving a post from a non-member when the content of that post was "on topic".
Is there a fix for this? Would this classify as a bug?
Does anyone know of any other work arounds?
When you have a few thousand people on a mailing list, its not really easy to realize on your own that a specific individual isn't a subscriber to the list. Especially when you have multiple individuals help administrate the list itself.
