Re: [Mailman-Users] add_members
Thank you for clarifying, Mark.
I do not yet have the knowledge to fix it, thus my comment. I do appreciate the fix, though, because a number of my subscribers do want to be subscribed inactive from a second address that they use for posts (and they don't want duplicates). So I'll use your version.

So Apple's version does, indeed, appear to be an Apple hack gone awry. I suppose it could be fixed by extracting the address before sending the member to setDeliveryStatus, but I'll refrain from that.
Yes, but why?
Upon rereading my post, I see the above "but why" doesn't say what I meant. It appears that I'm saying "but why refrain from fixing the hack?" This is definitely not what I meant to say.
I meant to say "but why fix it?", just the opposite of how it comes out. I did indicate how you could fix it, but I also tried to say that I didn't see a real need for the botched option in the first place.

So why not add them to the list of approved posters?
It's under accept_these_nonmembers on the Privacy options, Send filters page.
That's what I do when somebody wants to be able to post from a non-subscribed address. It's clean and easy.

By doing it that way, it's extra work for the list admin.
When folks on my lists want to post for different accounts I give them instructions on how to sub that address and then postpone that subscription. it puts the onus on the onus on the user to make sure they post from "legitimate" accounts.
