There is a patch to facilitate this, which allows you to reference
other lists' memberships in Privacy Options > Sender Filters >
accept_these_nonmembers.

You want to add ^.*@gse\.upenn\.edu to accept_these_nonmembers, which
should make it a regexp match.

As for the umbrella list configuration, not only do you need either
acceptable_aliases or !require_explicit_destination, but the umbrella
list address will also need to be in accept_these_nonmembers, or a
member of the sub lists (but the latter, here, is almost certainly a
bad idea. So, stick with accept_these_nonmembers.)


Hope this helps,
