upgraded mailman 2.1.14 (on suse 11.3 with bundled python 2.6)

In addition to the unwanted behaviour with accept_these_nonmembers described in a previous post, I'm getting strange behaviour with regular_include_lists

I want to make an umbrella listtwo lists, pseudoastro of which I'm the only member, and pseudotecno (with a colleague as member, and me as non member). Ideally I'd want to set up a list as template and then work for all others (we will have some 6 DISJOINCT lists with categories of our staff, we want to be able that members of each can post to any other [and in addition to set up some umbrella lists])

Notation

@ pseudoastro @ pseudotecno

fails at web level entry (Error: Invalid value for variable: accept_these_nonmembers)

Notation (with a blank between @ and list name) @ pseudoastro @ pseudotecno

gives an entry in the error log

*_these_nonmembers in pseudotecno references non-existent list pseudoastro *_these_nonmembers in pseudotecno references non-existent list pseudotecno

I tried capitalizing the first letter, adding the host and domain, using a notation list_host.domain (according to a posting found on the net), but in all cases I get the "non-existent list" error !!

What's the correct syntax ?

(and by the way ... are those checks to be considered effective as antispam measures ? do they just use the value of the header From field (which can be faked) or use info from the SMTP dialogue ?
