bin/find_member can be restricted to a single list with the
--listname switch.  And a regular expression is just a general
case of a fixed string search.  :-)  But checking the internal
accept_these_nonmembers, reject_these_nonmembers, and
discard_these_nonmembers lists does take a new script.

You could duplicate the logic in Handlers/Moderate.py to build
a script that tested for posting rights and returned a result
code that you could test in your MTA.
