The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Hi tim, and sorry for the late answer.

Yes it is possible : using authorization scenarios, you can silently 
(i.e. without notification to sender) messages from people not 
subscribed to a list. See: 
https://www.sympa.org/manual/authorization-scenarios for more details on 
scenarios.
You can also choose to moderate these message and let list owners handle 
them.

Using scenarios, you can also use the headers your anti-spam software 
leaves to the messages to silently reject messages tagged as spam.

Please note that Sympa 6 will be able to take anti-spam header into 
account to tag messages as spm in the moderation web interface, and 
assist list owner in the management of those messages.

Regards,

David Verdin
