Every day we do an import and a member_sync for a couple of lists.

We have lists where people has to mail to, and which they are a member of. So the [Privacy-options, accept_these_non_members] do not work...., because they are a member.... You have to uncheck the moderate square in the member list.

My question is : can we have 1 list of addresses which can mail to the list. Now we have to make an exception for the people who are a member of the list.

(We are doing an automated script import etc... so this is an issue for us)

I think the issue is you are not doing bin/sync_members to do the import. If you use bin/sync_members, those people who are already members will not have their moderation flag changed by the import. This does require that sync_members be given the full membership list each time, but if I understand correctly, that's what you're doing anyway.

That's right...

I don't know what your script process is, but neither sync_members or add_members will change anything for an address which is already a member.

Also right, but we have to make a script to make the helpdesk manage a "list or textfile" with addresses wich can mail to a list. Some people are member of such a list, and some aren't.. so we have 2 places in the system where we have to work.

Accept from non members (non member) Moderation flag (member)

this is possible, but I was wondering if it's possible to have 1 place for such addresses.

It would make life easier....:-)

Greetings... and thank you for the help...
