[Mailman-Users] Uncaught runner exception: regular_exclude_lists

Ah, of course, I completely forgot about that!  Yes, I had applied this
patch as you recommended when I installed the old version back in 2007:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=403066&group_id=103&atid=350103

You mentioned at the time that the functionality provided by the patch
(to auto-allow subscribers from certain domains, while everyone else
still requires approval) will be provided in a future release:

However I can't find the option in the current Mailman release.  Do you
know if it has been added or can I apply this patch again?

Many thanks,
Adam.
