Summary: "Announcement-only" list

Initial Comment:
Documents say that Mailman "supports a wide range of

mailing list types, such as general discussion lists and

announce-only lists".  It's exactly true.  But some people 

wish really "announcement-only" feature.



By `Announcement-only' feature:

o Posting by e-mail is not allowed at all.  All messages

  to posting address are forwarded to owners and no other 

  users won't receive it.

o Web interface is provided so that only specified users

  ("posters") can post messages to list.



For example for `mail magazine' publishers,

`announcement-only' list is safer (Oooops! I've

approved the SPAM!) and let them be free from

moderation tasks.



Changes on codes:

o New CGI script `post'.

o New handler `Posttop' which switches messages bound to 

  list to owners (only on annnouncement-only list).

o New `announcement_only' configuration directive.

o Some modifications of templates.





Notice: By now this is buggie (both in Python and English).

    Comments and Fixes are welcome.
