Summary: Emails not entered in the filter rules very well

Initial Comment:
When accepting an email from a non-subscriber (in a
closed mailing list) and selecting the option that the
sender should be added to the filter list of allowed
senders - this is not done very well, because it adds a
plain string representation of the email address, not
an regular expression (as which everything in that
filter-field is interpreted).

(mailman from Debian-i386, 2.1.5-8)

I can't read the Slovene translation, but it may be an
accurate rendition of the English which is a bit ambiguous.
It says:
"In the text boxes below, add one address per line; start
the line with a ^ character to designate a Python regular
expression. When entering backslashes, do so as if you were
using Python raw strings (i.e. you generally just use a
single backslash)."

It means "you may start the line ...".

The next paragraph says:
"Note that non-regexp matches are always done first."

which implies you don't need regexps.

The 'details' for these say:
"Add member addresses one per line; start the line with a ^
character to designate a regular expression match."

Perhaps these should say "optionally start the line ..." or
something similar.

Oh, thanks for the explanation.

Than this means that the Slovene translation is invalid.

The current:
"Sporočila s katerega od teh naslovov bodo samodejno
odobrena, brez dodatne modifikacije. Dodajte naslove članov,
vsakega v svojo vrstico; ki jo začnete z znakom ^, ki
predstavlja regularni izraz za iskanje ujemanj."
should be replaced with:
"Sporočila prejeta s katerega od teh naslovov bodo samodejno
odobrena, brez dodatne modifikacije. Naslove članov dodajte
vsakega v svojo vrstico. Če želite pri tem uporabljati
regularne izraze za iskanje ujemanj, morate vrstico začeti z ^."

It works as designed and as it should.

Entries in *_these_nonmembers are only interpreted as
regular expressions if they begin with '^'. Anything else is
an exact plain string match (case insensitive).
