accept_these_nonmembers is held as a Python list not a string. You may 
want to say:

     mlist.accept_these_nonmembers.append("root at mm.isu.edu")

or, if you do not want to preserve the prior list content:

	mlist.accept_these_nonmembers  =  ["root at mm.isu.edu"]

or, you want to add the address only if it is not already in the list:

     if not "root at mm.isu.edu" in mlist.accept_these_nonmembers:
         mlist.accept_these_nonmembers.append("root at mm.isu.edu")
