[Mailman-Users] Allow a domain to post to a list

[Miguel Tarazona Belenguer]

The syntax does not work. I put the config directive in a file
posters.config and when I aply the config this is the result:

system:~/scripts/listas/mailman/config# cat posters.config 
posters='^.+ at my\.uni\.es$'

system:~/scripts/listas/mailman/config# config_list -v -i posters.config
testlist
attribute "posters" changed

system:~/scripts/listas/mailman/config# config_list -o - testlist | grep
posters
posters = '^.+ at my\\.uni\\.es$'
forbidden_posters = []


As you can see, the config_list script adds one extra backslash before
the dot, so the regexp is not correct, I don't figure how to solve it
and I don't know why it happens.

This is an old version of Mailman. Those attributes don't exist in
current versions, but assuming that current syntax might apply here, try

posters = ['^\.+ at my\.uni\.es']

This assumes that a regular expression is allowed in the 'posters' list
and an initial '^' signals a regular expression.

In current Mailman, this would be 'accept_these_nonmembers' and the
above syntax would work.
