More than efforts - that's the way current versions work. You specify
whether a non-member post should be Accepted, Held, Rejected or
Discarded.

Currently, the only way to do this is to Hold non-member posts. If the
post is discarded, no message is sent. If the post is rejected, the
reject message is hard coded (but possibly translated) in
Mailman/Handlers/Moderate.py.

If the non-member post is held, the message sent to the user is derived
from the postheld.txt template. See
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.048.htp
for information on creating list specific, domain specific or sitewide
edited templates.
