Hello -

I want to deny list subscriptions to any user whose email address does not include my domain.

I realize that I can do that by having the list admin approve subscription requests, but I'd prefer to automate the process.

I would hope that a rejection notice would be sent to any person who subscribes and does not have the correct email domain.

Does anyone know how to do this - or is this something that I should submit as a feature / enhancement request?

Use ban_list

^!*.example.com

to prevent all subscriptions that are not from example.com . This regex will allow subscriptions from

@aaa.example.com

That's the right idea except that is not a Python regular expression http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/re-syntax.html. Well, actually, it is valid, but it doesn't do what you want. It matches anything that starts with 0 or more '!' followed by any character followed by 'example' followed by any character followed by 'com' with possible trailing stuff after that.

What you would need to ban addresses not in the example.com domain or a sub-domain thereof is something like

^.*@(?!(.*\.)?example\.com$)
