Developers of Sympa

[John Kirkland <address@concealed>]

I also moved from Lyris to Sympa.

What I do is put a header in the email with my "password" in it.

To accomplish this, I did:
1.  Create custom "send" scenario that looks like this:
--------------------
title.us Password Newsletter -- requires PASSWD Header

match([header->PASSWD],/password/) smtp -> do_it
true() smtp,smime,md5 -> reject
--------------------

2.  Configure sympa via /etc/sympa.conf to remove the password from the 
headers with this line:
remove_headers  
Return-Receipt-To,Precedence,X-Sequence,Disposition-Notification-To,PASSWD

3.  Configure your list to use the custom send scenario, and any 
messages with the password in the header can bypass moderation...  
Actually... in my example above, any message missing the password is 
outright rejected.

Regards,
John
