No it shouldn't be too tough, but no it's too late to go into 2.0. Here's a quick sketch of a hack though (untested).

If you want to make this list-specific, use bin/withlist to set an attribute on the lists that should have this behavior. Let's call it `auto_reject':

-------------------- snip snip --------------------autoreject.py def autoreject(m): m.auto_reject = 1 m.Save() -------------------- snip snip -------------------- % python bin/withlist -r autoreject -l mylist

Now, in Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py find the stanza where NonMemberPost is raised. Change the hold_for_approval line to something like:

if getattr(mlist, 'auto_reject', 0):
    raise DiscardMessage
else:
hold_for_approval(mlist, msg, msgdata, NonMemberPost)

Doing the GUI is a bit more work, and it would be nice if each of the hold conditions could be optionally discarded, so that's another reason to wait and do it right for 2.1.
