The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Malcolm Waltz" <address@concealed>]

Hi Miles,

Thanks, I will probably use this technique in the future.  I haven't
tested it yet, but I think that is what I've been looking for (and
probably what Bob Beer was looking for).

It occurs to me though that you could use:

is_subscriber([listname]-allowed-senders,[sender])     smtp,smime,md5
->do_it

... and save it to a _new_ scenario file.  This way you could make it
work for any list.


I still hope for built-in per user moderation in a future version of
Sympa, but this helps a bunch.

Thanks again,
Malcolm Waltz

one way to do this is to set up two lists:
1. the "real" one containing everybody on the list - set up as a 
standard, moderated list
2. another list, not used to send mail, but just to hold the names of 
people allowed to send un-moderated messages

then, assuming the lists are named "list" and "list-allowed-senders:"

3. go into the admin interface for the "real" list (i.e., "list")
and track down to edit-list-config>sending/receiving setup

4. in the box titled "who can send messages" (where you set the list as 
moderated), click on "scenario source"

5. insert a line along the lines of

is_subscriber(list-allowed-senders,[sender])     smtp,smime,md5
->do_it
(note that lines are executed in the order listed, so put this before 
the line that send the message to a moderator)

and hit save

---
You're telling sympa to take any messages, sent by addresses subscribe 
to list-allowed-senders to send unmoderated messages to "list"

I actually do this in reverse for one list - using a similar scenario to

modify new, and/or troublesome subscribers to an otherwise unmoderated
list.

Hope this helps,

Miles Fidelman
