Thanks for advising me of this. I've come up with a crude hack which
will get me by for now:

+           return 1;
        }elsif ($cmd =~ /add$/){
            $keyauth = $self->compute_auth ($param[0],'add');
            $command = "auth $keyauth $cmd $listname $param[0] $param[1]";


but I don't see where I need to make changes to get my new
auth_subscription.tpl to be editable from the web interface. Perhaps I
should keep it simple for now and forget about such niceties until the
planned move to templates.

This I managed to crack without having to go into the main code at all,
which I just love! I added an extra field, moderate_subscriber, (enum,
'0', '1') to my subscribers table, registered it in sympa.conf and
created this scenario:

title.us restricted to subscribers, flagged subscribers moderated

equal ([subscriber->moderate_subscriber], 1)   smtp,smime,md5    -> editorkey
is_subscriber([listname],[sender])             smtp,smime,md5    -> do_it
is_editor([listname],[sender])                 smtp,smime,md5    -> do_it
is_owner([listname],[sender])                  smtp,smime,md5    -> do_it

The only thing that maybe could have made the process easier would have
been not having to change the database structure. A third table, call it
prefs, with four fields, user, list, pref_name, pref_value, might be a
way of achieving this one day.
