The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Hi Christopher,

The problem is: in the "send" scenario, we can only defer the treatment, but not change it. That means can't redirect a mail to the owners. There is a workaround, though

If you use something like this:

is_owner([sender])    smtp,md5,smime,dkim    -> do_it
is_subscriber([sender])    smtp,md5,smime,dkim    -> owner
true()    smtp,md5,smime,dkim    -> reject,quiet

Then the message will be kept in moderation and the owners notified. The good thing is that the message is forwarded to the owners with the moderation notification.

If you then edit the notification template (moderate.tt2) for this list, you can make the focrwarding look more like a direct message sending. if you make sure no validation link remains in the moderation message, then you lower the chances that a distracted owner click it and sends the message to all the list.

The drawback is that the message will be kept in the moderation page for a while.

Note that in the scenario I submit, a message issued by any one else than a subscriber or owner will be rejected, to prevent a mismatch between a legitimate message (coming from a subscriber) and a message that should normally be moderated (e.g. coming from a non subscriber interested in the list).

Hope this helps.

Regards,

David

I want a list where the owner can post to the list and that mail would
go out to all subscribers.
and, if a subscriber emails the list, it only goes to the owners.
