The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Steve Shipway <address@concealed>]

I don't believe that Sympa can do this natively, but I know a way to create 
an 
add-on to do it.

First of all, you need to add an include.send.header scenario that does 
a"search(whitelist.txt) smtp,mime -> do_it" .  This lets a whitelist work. 
You need to create an empty file search_filters/whitelist.txt in the list 
directory (and probably one in the base etc/sympa directory as well).

Now you need to have a way to maintain this file, including a way to add 
entries to it from the moderation page.  This means making a TT2 plugin 
module 
and modifying web_tt2/modindex.tt2 to place an additional 'Add to whitelist' 
button next to messages in the moderator queue.

This is not such a simple task, particularly if you're not a perl coder, but 
on the plus side it does not require modifications to the Sympa base code.

Subject: [sympa-users] On a moderated list add addresses of distributed 
messages to a white list

Dear Sympa folks,


as a contact address for a club, a list is set up which the board of
directors(?) receives. Due to the spam the list is moderated. My question is, 
if Sympa can automatically add addresses to a white list once a message from 
that address is distributed by the list owner, so in the future that person 
is 
still a non-subscriber and does not get the messages from the list, but the 
person can send a message to the address without being moderated.


Thanks,

Paul
