I'm trying to figure out what ALL of the options that I can configure for Mailman are, so that I can get lists to default to exactly how I want them. I notice that in Mailman/Defaults.py, a section reads:
# Make it 1 when it works. DEFAULT_MEMBER_POSTING_ONLY = 0
This worries me a little... Can I set this to 1, and actually have it work by default? If so, what does that message mean? I'm running 2.0beta 4, if that's important. Thanks, Grego

Also, is there a way on a member posting only list to not have a non-member post go to the administrative task page? Way I look at it, there is not need for admin action (I reject all non-member posting)

On a slight twist to that, I would like to know if there is a way to have a 'members only' list, but allow mail from certain non-member addresses (automated things and such). I can't add those addresses as members, because some of them can't take mail - it would just cause a big mess to do that.
thx Chris.

You might try adding them as members, but then configuring those entries to have the "nomail" bit set. (Unfortunately, I think they may still get the monthly reminders if you have enabled them for the list.)

Look in General posting filters in the Privacy Options section. Looks to me like you need to restrict to list members and put the extra addresses in the textbox below.
