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.

Will Mailman 3 also accept a string starting with @ to be interpreted as a list to be used, just as with later versions of Mailman 2.1?

Thanks, Chris

Thanks for the explanation!

I have tried different things with the python client to achieve this but with no results. I don't know if there are missing features in the client or if I have misunderstood something.

For instance for known email:

========================================================================

client = Client('http://localhost:8001/3.0', 'restadmin', 'restpass') my_list = client.get_list(ml_id)

# my_list.nonmembers is a list no "get_member" method for nm in my_list.nonmembers: if nm.email == email_to_add: pass # no moderation_action

========================================================================

Or to "subscribe" an unknown email:

========================================================================

my_list.add_role('non-member', email_to_add) # non-member / nonmember / etc. are not considered as valid roles

========================================================================

As a fallback I have tried to edit directly the database:

========================================================================

conn = sqlite3.connect(DB) c = conn.cursor()

sql = """ UPDATE member set moderation_action=? WHERE member.list_id=? and member.address_id = ( SELECT id from address where email=?)"""

c.execute(sql, [Action.accept.value, ml_id, email_to_add])

conn.commit()

========================================================================

But with no result.

Thanks for any help!
