web search members criteria mod
Hi,
Is it possible to use the member management form, or some tricks, to filter members authorized to post to an announce list?
newsletter : How do I create a newsletter/announcement/one-way list? http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030685
May be not… Should I use : accept_these_nonmembers and moderate everyone including the poster?
I know the trick about
Approved: <password>
But I'm sure every post will bounce once, and the poster will forget it every time… :-\
Regards, Sylvain.

Self reply of the question above, it seems you cant:

Only, form command line…
Good keywords: mod or moderator
May be by hacking the cgi with curl… (sick)

From your followup, you know it is easy from the command line. Since you don't have that access, see the script at <http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/mailman-subscribers.py> which you can use to screen-scrape the wed admin UI and get the membership including flags in a CSV file which you can filter on mod bit.

If the poster is a member, that won't work as the post will be held as from a moderated member and *_these_nonmembers won't be consulted.

This is the ONLY secure way to post to an announce list. Without this, anyone on the list knows who an authorized poster is as soon as they receive a post, and can spoof that address if they want to post.
Well maybe not the ONLY way. You can always moderate everyone and hold moderated posts and then approve the ones you want, but that is a lot of work for a moderator.
