My real question is: Is it possible to add addresses to the 'accepts' filter of a mailinglist from the commandline?

Not directly, but in a shell script you could prepare a file that looks like

mlist.accept_these_nonmembers.append('usera at example.com') mlist.accept_these_nonmembers.append('userb at example.com')

and so on for all the non-members you want to add and then run

bin/config_list -i filename listname

where filename is the name of the above file.

I have implemented a script to add an address to

accept_these_nonmembers

in a collection of Mailman lists, and I am wondering if there is a similar mechanism for deleting an address in

accept_these_nonmembers

in a collection of Mailman lists.

mlist.accept_these_nonmembers.remove('user@example.com')

but it would probably be better to do

user = 'user@example.com' try: mlist.accept_these_nonmembers.remove(user) except ValueError: print 'User: %s not in accept_these_nonmembers' % user

or maybe just

try: mlist.accept_these_nonmembers.remove('user@example.com') except ValueError: pass

but, now you're getting into the realm of Python coding and it would be better still to write a complete Python script rather than using config_list.
